You really do not want CC AR and friends expand to anything else than
the program name. It will only lead to confusion. except the AR stuff
that has been copied all over the place there really is not that many
places that has been changed and as far as maintenance goes there is
none. People doing changes to makefiles simply cut & past from whats
already there so this "style" will propagate by itself.

sure but that would be a separate changeset. I was trying to keep the
change as small as possible.
