You can probably use $* instead.  But note that omake is broken in
this respect (last time I checked, and compared to Make).

I wrote about this problem to this mailing list a while ago, but saw
no response.  Consider the following Makefile:

foo-%-bar:
        echo $* > $@

Running "make foo-xxx-bar" will run the command

	echo xxx > foo-xxx-bar

In omake, the $* variable expands to $@ with the suffix stripped, if I
understood correctly. This is much less useful.
