I didn't simply apply your diff but edited the file by hand to
test various combinations and see what side effects it might
have.  So when I added top_srcdir I typed it by hand and used :=
as a reflex since it's the standard way of assigning variables.
Using = instead only makes a difference when the r-value has
something dynamic as it will be re-evaluated every time it's
used.  So for constant values, I guess it's more of a question of
coding style and conventions.  Maybe all the top_srcdir variables
should be changed to := but that's unnecessary churn...  Either
way, it's benign.

Shuah, feel free to change this back to = in this particular case
if it's more consistent with other Makefiles.  Consistency is
often better than arbitrary rules.  Or conversely, change to :=
for the khdr_dir definition...  Entirely up to you I think.

Thanks,
Guillaume
