Hello,
if I may add a small nit:

I would agree with you, from a GNU make perspective, that wildcards are
often cleaner than shell expansions. However, please note that first,
in general, automake won't understand them -- it merely ignores them
reasonably well --, and second, they are not portable to non-GNU make
implementations. For the latter reason, I would not use them in the
above case.
Cheers,
Ralf
