Generally, I wouldn't, as I don't like the idea of reimplementing GNU
make inside Automake. A couple of ideas might be worth stealing though.

Well, with a bit of luck, recursive variable expansion will be part of
the next Posix standard. Unfortunately, there are limitations in
existing make implementations that affect your (good) ideas, and also I
don't think / is portable in variable names. See here for more info:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/12361>
(Reminds me of which, I still need to do some portability testing for
that ...)
