Hm.  I think the entire MAXPATHLEN thing is something that needs to be
cleaned up.

I think a better idea would be to use the POSIX standard value of
PATH_MAX, everywhere in the code.

Then on systems that don't support PATH_MAX we can try to find an
appropriate value elsewhere, such as MAXPATHLEN or whatever, but that
would be all contained in one place (make.h I expect) then a consistent
value would be used everywhere.
