Two textual suggestions. Thanks for documenting this.

Hmm, the two instances of internal(ly) sound a bit redundant. Maybe one of these two would fit better?
a) ... there are some internal variables that are used within the build system ...
b) ... there are some variables that are used internally to the build system ...

Good point.

408 ↗(On Diff #34890)

I originally had 'no standarized names' but made it shorter w/o fixing the plural.

I would end at "the build system". The rest feels redundant in a manpage.

394 ↗(On Diff #34890)

need to newline wrap the .Dv

410 ↗(On Diff #34890)

Does Fx work there like that?

412 ↗(On Diff #34890)

It unfortunately is but as you say should not be relied on.

416 ↗(On Diff #34890)

newline wrap .Dv

348 ↗(On Diff #34890)

ok

394 ↗(On Diff #34890)

I think I can just remove the . and be good. Either way, I'll fix.

410 ↗(On Diff #34890)

Yes.

416 ↗(On Diff #34890)

OK. Will remove the . or fix.
