From what I have seen, the OV "expand" hack is something like

VAR1 = foo
VAR2 = bar

expand MACRO

The problem with this is that the same variables have to be set
multiple times if the macro gets expanded in different places with
different "parameters", and I really don't want to think about how to
write a parser to deal with that, since it would have to know which
macros want which variables to be set.

Where might automake be found?  Is it a gnu utility, or is it
somewhere else?
