.if is an internal make thing.  In this case it is all about
conditionally defining a make target.

@if is two things: @ -- meaning "don't echo this command" and "if"
which is plain old Bourne Shell code.  It's part of the action of
the target.

If you define XORG_UPGRADE in the environment while attempting your
recursive fetch, it should work.

	Cheers,
