You can access environment variables within a MAKE or NMAKE makefile
in the same way that you access user-defined macros. The only
difference is that the names of environment variables must be
capitalized when used in this manner. For example:
# the INCLUDE "macro" will pick up your INCLUDE environment variable
file.obj : file.c $(INCLUDE)\file.h
cl /c /Zi /Od file.c
