I didn't really trust += in my own Automake makefiles since it was not really clear to me in what order the appending would occurWould it matter? Except for use of := (which I think is non-portable too), expansion of ${variables} will happen at the latest possible time, long after += has been parsed (linearly top-down probably).
The "linearly top-down probably" bit is the part that I don't trust since in a complex project ordering can easily change. Even if the term "probably" is removed, I prefer to be more explicit.
