Yes, it seems that they're deliberately unexpanded so that they can be 
overridden in "make install". This is currently useless for us, because we 
don't actually install anything in make install, but I can see that we 
might want to adopt a more "conventional" install strategy in the future 
:-)

Cheers, Chris.
