Ouch.

This will work, but isn't necessary. You can much more
straightforwardly use functions such as patsubst, since you're just
performing a simple transformation on one set of words into another.
Try this:
LANGUAGES = de en fr pt
TEST = $(LANGUAGES:%=cvs-%.texi)

Yes.

Yes.

If you use pattern rules, you can represent any one section of the
name.
khm> Any suggestions, hints?
cvs-%.texi: cvs-mlt.texi
multunil --lang=$* --replace --texinfo cvs.texi
I don't understand why the target depends on cvs-mult.texi, but then
uses cvs.texi in the command... ?
Anyway, look up pattern rules in the GNU make manual.
