Sound good to me.
Additionally (though it won't help the original problem, it will
help remove a ton of boilerplate), we can also eliminate all the
RM_F = @rm_f@ boilerplate in the makefiles, and
simply use @rm_f@ where we now use $(RM_F)
Actually I don't mind having things like
RM_F = /home/coke/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_f
defined on top of Makefiles. It is standard Makfile syntax.
When editing the generated Makefile, for testing and development, it
easier to change
the global definition of a variable than to change all ocurrances.
