I am wondering if it would be possible to extend automake to expand
rules like these into something portable.
This kind of %-rules or even more unportable gmake-rules are quite
handy for packages which are not supposed to be portable, but apply
and rely on the combination of gmake and automake. This is not quite
conforming to automake's principles, nevertheless is rather powerful
combination and works with automake for many cases.
