Is it "legal" to use the "+=" operator in lieu of "\" when listing
members of a variable in Makefile.am's?
Yes. In this case, an Automake extension over portable make syntax,
i.e., automake will flatten the += and 'make' won't ever see it.
I didn't really trust += in my own Automake makefiles since it was not
really clear to me in what order the appending would occur and since I
am also using Automake includes, the ordering might get changed in
some bad way if the include order is changed. So for my makefiles I
used additional variables with explicit concatenation, leaving nothing
to chance.
