Re: [evolution-patches] Use $(API_VERSION) in Makefiles

[Rodney Dawes <dobey novell com>]

Actually automake handles $(foo) as in libfoo-$(foo).la fine. The
problem is that for _SOURCES, etc..., it doesn't handle periods in
the string. This means that for $(API_VERSION), you'd have to create
a variable in configure.(ac|in), that uses $(API_VERSION), and replaces
the . character with the _ character. I think libfoo_$(FOO)_la_SOURCES
will work, if you do that.
