Can you clarify on what is wrong with := ?  I've added IMHO quite clear and
elaborate explanation in the PH on the matter, and I don't see the merit of
using MY_DEPENDS at all: it's ugly, it's hard to read, it pollutes namespace
for no sound reason.

People should learn their tools instead of inventing obscure workarounds.
