I like this version. But if you look at the original depend2.am
in am 1.9.6, there were some tics around %SOURCES%, too, i.e.

        `IFS=:; x=':$(VPATH)'; \
        for d in $$x; do \
                test -n $$d && d=$$d/; \
                test -f $${d}'%SOURCE%' && echo $$d && break;
        done`'%SOURCE%'
