i ended up working around this problem, so it's not as critical for me anymore. that said, i decided to dig a little deeper for the greater good. i found that the Makefile-style variables are hidden in the OS hints files. it doesn't make much sense to expand them there, but we might want to consider doing it while generating parrot_config. i already wrote the expansion code for mod_parrot -- i'll see if i can shoehorn it in.
Yes, having parrot_config pre-process these substitutions is a good idea. (We could add a command-line flag to turn off preprocessing when the raw values are really needed.)
