    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This patch fixes Make on VMS to export symbols so that recursive and nested
make commands will work.

This also exports a foreign command for the make image that was run.

Some of the tests still fail because VMS currently does not do shell expansion
of exported symbols.  I will be looking at adding that capability in the
future as part of improving posix shell simulation.
