 Yes; I've seen the heavy use of @@ vars in their Makefile.am.  FYI,
 this is not a good idea, especially for directories: it's recommended
 to use $() in order to be able to override values during various make
 invocation, for example:
    make install prefix=/opt/... bindir=/foobar/...

 This is less useful for the GTK_BINARY_VERSION obviously, but it's
 recommended to use $() instead of @@ for the above reason.
