That was my mistake; it should be UPDATE that's set to avoid a
`make clean', just as it is in the top-level Makefile. I've just
fixed this.

BUILD is the correct thing here; it has the same behaviour as it does
in the top-level makefile:

I shouldn't think so, since it has full functionality whether or
not RELEASEDIR is set. :-)

I haven't really worked that out. Probably in snap_md: in the
etc.$MACHINE/Makefile.inc.
