    The regex pattern in function scan_variable_expansions() fails to
    report a portability warning when a dollar-escaped dollar sign
    precedes the variable:

            foo_SOURCES = a.c $$$(patsubst a.c,a,b)

Thanks Jan. Any chance you could add a check to one of the tests, I
guess dollarvar.sh or dollarvar2.sh? (I haven't looked at them closely.) -k
