Yeah, but I was just wishing that it wouldn't not drop my substitution 
var.   The manual says...

/If/ `prog_DEPENDENCIES' is not supplied, it is computed by Automake. 
The automatically-assigned value is the contents of `prog_LDADD', with 
most configure substitutions, `-l', `-L', `-dlopen' and `-dlpreopen' 
options removed. The configure substitutions that are left in are only 
address@hidden@' and address@hidden@'; these are left because it is known that they 
will not cause an invalid value for `prog_DEPENDENCIES' to be generated.

Perhaps there should be a way of indicating NOT to leave out a @abc@ 
var when building prog_DEPENDENCIES by prefixing it with a address@hidden@ in 
prog_LDADD or something that means 'leave it in; I'm asserting that this 
will not be an invalid dependancy'.
