I'm glad we agreed on the new syntax. It aligns nicely with the existing SRC
syntax, and there is no ambiguity or symbols like `@` with special meaning (I
was not fond of that either, but could not figure out a better way to mimic the
old syntax). It is a bit longer, and a line like this is a bit hard to read:
JDK_LIBS := java.base:libjava java.base:libjli java.base:libjvm, \
but I guess that is a price we just have to pay.
