1.5.35 site/faculty

       site    = ( sitename )
       faculty = ( facultyname )

This variable defines a convenient name for your site configuration. It is useful for making generic rules later on, because it means for instance that you can define the name of a directory to be

     /$(site)/$(host)/local

without having to redefine the rule for a specific site. This is a handy trick for making generic rules in your files which can be imported into a configuration for any site.

faculty is a synonym for site. The two names may be used interchangeably.
