Stu Feldman, author of the original "make", probably; I think he discussed it
at a talk here, and the authors of the "SunPro make" (the optional "make" in
SunOS 3.5 and later, and the standard "make" in 4.0) picked it up from there.

Well, now you have.  Presumably, they're using the "SunPro make" version.
