Merge branch 'ab/makefile-help-devs-more'

CFLAGS now can be tweaked when invoking Make while using
DEVELOPER=YesPlease; this did not work well before.

* ab/makefile-help-devs-more:
  Makefile: allow for combining DEVELOPER=1 and CFLAGS="..."
  Makefile: move the setting of *FLAGS closer to "include"
  Makefile: Move *_LIBS assignment into its own section
  Makefile: add/remove comments at top and tweak whitespace
  Makefile: move "strip" assignment down from flags
  Makefile: remove an out-of-date comment
