Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.
POSIX requires that the value of SHELL in the makefile NOT be exported to sub-commands. Instead, the value in the environment when make was invoked should be passed to the environment of sub-commands. Note that make still uses SHELL to _run_ sub-commands; it just doesn't change the value of the SHELL variable in the environment of sub-commands. As an extension to POSIX, if the makefile explicitly exports SHELL then GNU make _will_ use it in the environment of sub-commands.

+ Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.
+
+ * main.c (main): Set SHELL to v_noexport by default. Remember the
+ original environment setting of SHELL in the env_shell variable.
+ * main.h: Export new env_shell variable.
+ * variable.c (target_environment): If we find a v_noexport
+ variable for SHELL, add a SHELL variable with the env_shell value.
+ * doc/make.texi (Quick Reference): Document the POSIX behavior.
+ * doc/make.texi (Variables/Recursion): Ditto.

* main.c (find_and_set_default_shell) [WINDOWS32]: check for
equality of "cmd"/"cmd.exe", not inequality. Fixes bug #11155.
