These are my personal blog posts.  They may use different terminology
than the manual.

The "define" construct is already in the index.

There is a brief reference to "macro" in the manual:

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Using-Variables

  (In some other versions of make, variables are called macros.)

I'm not sure such trivial mention merits an addition to the index.
