Why not fix "make" instead to either handle the shell extensions or at
least notice that it doesn't know about some new meta-characters. As far
as I know (but yes, I'm too lazy to try to find the standard), the brace
expansion is part of the POSIX shell standard, and if make can't handle it
then make is very arguably broken.
