@aiuto

As ugly as the bazel make variables hacks are, it turns out that converting a large code base to a different style is a huge time waster. We should support $(var) expansion in package_file_name in addition to {var}.

Also, while doing this, we should think about being able to get ctx.var expansion without having to make a package variables just to forward it.
