Log Message:
make(1): remove outdated comment about string comparisons
Back in 1993, the variables in a context were stored in a linked list.
Searching such a list indeed required literally thousands of calls to
strcmp. In make.h 1.22 from 1999-09-15, the linked list was replaced
with a hash table, requiring much fewer string comparisons. Since then,
the rationale doesn't apply anymore.
