For instance, TIT-GB is defined as below.

TIT-GB=\
        quail/CCDOSPY.elc       \
        quail/Punct.elc         \
        quail/QJ.elc            \
        quail/SW.elc            \
        quail/TONEPY.elc

Are there anyway to generate a variable that is equivalent
to this without writing it directly:

TIT-GB-SOURCE=\
        CXTERM-DIC/CCDOSPY.tit  \
        CXTERM-DIC/Punct.tit    \
        CXTERM-DIC/QJ.tit       \
        CXTERM-DIC/SW.tit       \
        CXTERM-DIC/TONEPY.tit

With Gnu make, it seems that we can do:

TIT-GB-SOURCE := $(TIT-GB:quail/%.elc=CXTERM-DIC/%.tit)

But, is such a variable substitution generally available?
