In the simplist case, GNU Make cannot find the "co" program when trying to
check out a file from the RCS directory. A make -n will report
test -f file.c,v || co file.c
The problem is that "co" is installed under /usr/local/bin and when "make"
is run, /bin/sh reports that it cannot find "co". I have tried setting
the CO variable in the makefile, but the substitution does not occur. I
have also tried setting the COFLAGS variable, but it too does not appear
to substitute into the "co" line correctly.
I can fix this problem be redefining the default for "co", but it seems
not to be the way to do things.
