It sounds like the reasonable approach is to:
- define a standard env variable for contrib (TOSCONTRIB?)
- use that in Makefiles and .platform files where necessary (.platform
files are perl, so it's $ENV{TOSCONTRIB} (within a string) or
$ENV{"TOSCONTRIB"} (outside a string) to get to the variable)
I'm with Phil on the principle that the % thingies should only be for
references to things within the tos hierarchy.
Btw, for .platform-in-contrib purposes, %P can be useful: it expands
to the directory where the .platform was found... (and this will
therefore work within contrib)
