BUG: Makefiles require GNU make

[afb@…]

The makefiles use some commands specific to GNU make, and don't work with BSD make.

Comments on the patch:

• For consistency's sake, would like to see a line like [ "$(ARC)" = "yes" ] && ${MAKE} SVNTAG=${DISTARCTAG} PKGNAME=${DISTARCNAME} _dopkg in base/Makefile.in rather than the one provided using test explicitly;
• Not sure if removing ifneq ($(MAKECMDGOALS),distclean) from base/doc/Makefile has any negative side effects, I haven't been able to spot any;
• Not sure why we're exporting the deployment target in base/src/pextlib1.0 and in base/src/tclobjc1.0 and if removing the export keyword breaks anything, I'll let others chime in on that one.

Other than those three, the patch seems OK to me for inclusion.

Don't think it should have any, since doc/Makefile is processed before rm -f Mk/macports.autoconf.mk

The removal of the endifs would be useful not just for compatibility with BSD make, but also for people who might want to try converting the Makefiles to automake-generated ones: ​http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2000-10/msg00107.html
