[bug-automake] A solution to inner expansion problem?

[Ray Simard]

The approach in the following patch survives the battery of tests
in the automake 1.8 source (unlike the last suggestion)
and solves the immediate problem with dep files created with the
names of makefile variables instead of the variables' expansions.
It alters define_objects_from_sources to enable inner expansion.
Any ideas about this?
