I'm looking at ticket 3664, where the reporter was unable to override the value of $(DOTLOCK_GROUP) because the Makefile.am directly used @DOTLOCK_GROUP@.
What would be the reasons to use the @DOTLOCK_GROUP@ (and other such @XYZ@ substitutions) directly in the Makefile.am? Automake provides all the expansions into Makefile variables automatically when converting to Makefile.in. Is there some syntactic issue that it works around? Is there any reason to not just convert all uses of @BLAH@ into $(BLAH) inside the various Makefile.am files? -- Kevin J.
