moz.build is replacing Makefile.in in the Mozilla tree. We aim to
eventually remove all Makefile.in files, so we're adding functionality
to migrate Makefile content into moz.build files. With that said, we
still generate Makefiles from moz.build files in the build backend and
use make to build the tree. If your use case is "pass variables while
invoking make", that should still work. If your use case is "add things
to the Makefile", then if the things you want to add do not exist in
moz.build you may need to add a Makefile.in to the directory. We still
support having a Makefile.in alongside moz.build for additional content,
but we may remove that in the future.
