* From: Nik Clayton <nik@freebsd.org>
* Convention in /usr/share/mk/*.mk shows that ${VAR} is preferred over
* $(VAR), but make.1 doesn't imply that there's any difference between them.
* I've always used ${VAR} (probably influenced by FreeBSD) but is there
* any particular reason to use one form over the other?
I prefer ${VAR} for variable dereferences since ()'s are already used
for conditionals (.if defined(FOOBAR), etc.).
