Info node make(General Search) says:
The value of the `make' variable `VPATH' specifies a list of
directories that `make' should search. Most often, the directories are
expected to contain prerequisite files that are not in the current
directory; however, `VPATH' specifies a search list that `make' applies
for all files, including files which are targets of rules.
I think the implicit assumption is that the "all files" refers
to all prerequisites, and does not apply to, say, included makefiles
by the include directive (where VPATH does not apply).
I suggest:
`VPATH' specifies a search list that `make' applies for all
prerequisite files, including files which are targets of rules.
