near the start of 1.2.1 Using Makevars says
> There are some macros which are set whilst configuring the building of

I'm confused. If Makeconf is included after Makevars, then how can
Makevars use macros defined in Makeconf?
Or is the meaning only that a variable definition in Makeconf can be
overridden in Makevars?
