I am missing an explanation there for the aspect when the construct "define … endef"
should be used instead of the other variants for variable assignments.
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Reading-Makefiles.html#index-define_002c-expansion

A corresponding implementation detail might not be as obvious here for me
as for other make users.
