To exclude a recipe from a world build using this variable,
set the variable to "1" in the recipe.

+ <note>
+ Recipes added to <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD</filename>
+ may still be built during a world build in order to satisfy
+ dependencies of other recipes.
+ Adding a recipe to <filename>EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD</filename>
+ only ensures that the recipe is not explicitly added
+ to the list of build targets in a world build.
