Ok, so it looks like emulating scoped variables through a stack is the
way to go.

I can't do that, as I'm traversing my included .mk-files recursively and
I want to give the "user" access to these variables on each level.

Just a shy suggestion: Wouldn't be support for scoping (in GNU make 4.0 ;-))
a cool feature to help writing much better makefiles?
