Shouldn't Makefile variables use the smooth parenthesis, not the curly
ones like the shell? I believe GNU make allows either. But that is
not true of all make programs. The V7 make documentation only
specifies $(string). POSIX requires both. All of the examples for
GNU make and GNU autoconf that I can find suggest $(string).

If those end up in a Makefile aren't the $(EXEEXT) usage correct?
