I would like the ability to allow make to read .env files. I kinda already got
started here with a python wrapper around make, called `make.env`:
https://github.com/smac89/make.env

I believe this is something many people will benefit from, and it can be
exposed via a flag of some sort.

I don't mind working on it, but I just need to know if it's something that has
been considered before and discarded, or if there are any concerns with giving
`make` the ability to read environment files
