How can this be? It stands left of the colon and seems to indicate a certain
kind of Fink statement.

I tried to use
Type: -nox ., e (6.7.7)
because %e looks like a pretty useless variable, but setting it does not seem
to work, it stays empty.
In Alex' package approximately 100 times the self-defined type variables are
used, but I don't understand what they are doing, how they are used, how they
are substituting themselves with something clear and reasonable and previously
set.

There is a chapter "2.3 Percent Expansion". It does not explain how to set or
create a variable.
There is another chapter "6.2 Fields". It describes a type "Type". This "Type"
seems to be something very different than the act of (declaring and) defining a
variable.
