If I'm using GNU make, I hardly ever use "=" instead of ":=", unless I
really want to define a macro. You're a lot more likely to get what
you expect most of the time, and you can use "+=".

What's the difference? My book on Make mentions "=", but not ":=". I
knew about ":=" but I always thought they were pretty much the same.
