Yes, and no. It is easy to use "$@" instead of $*, but on the other hand,
nothing in the makefiles support spaces in the directory names.
On Windows, it sometimes work, since we can rewrite directories with
spaces to a short form, that does not contain spaces. But this
will never work on GNU/Linux,Solaris etc etc.
I have replaced $* with "$@", since it does not hurt, however, it might
not work on Windows. You have to try.
