They are used outside makefiles, but they should be as separate
variables that are expanded. I've committed a fix for it.
Jon, the reason for the ${foo} syntax is that this is the only way to
reference a variable that works in both "make", "sh" and PHP. In the
makefiles we want to defer expansion as long as possible, to give the
user bigger flexibility for redefining individual variables from the
"make" command line.
