Sorry. I learned that one minute after hitting [y]. :-)

Not for recipes, apparently:
all:
$(foreach f,a b,echo $(f)1$(newline)echo $(f)2$(newline))
$ make all
echo a1
a1
echo a2
a2
echo b1
b1
echo b2
b2
Why it works for generating recipes and not for target-dependencies
lines, is a complete mystery to me.
