[PATCH] Docs: make.texi: static -> simple


From: Michael Witten
Subject: [PATCH] Docs: make.texi: static -> simple
Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2011 19:21:43 +0000

Variables are largely described as being one of the following
flavors:

  * Recursively expanded
  * Simply expanded

The two occurrences of the word `static' in regard to the variable
flavor have been replaced with the word `simple' in order to maintain
consistency.
