Retain all variable definitions until the whole Makefile.am has
been processed, then output all variables in one step, at the top
of Makefile.in.  (Older revisions used to output user variables
before generating Automake targets, and to mix Automake variables
with Automake targets, preventing redefinitions of previously
output variables.)

nor update @var_list, adjust calls to macro_define.
