$(foreach) works too.  I only avoided it because it has already caused a

Ok, fair enough.
REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES only has 3 items in it right now, and probably
won't grow much larger, if it grows at all, so there is little chance of
exceeding the maximum argument list length on IRIX.  So $(foreach) is
fine with me if you think that reads better.
Well your patch fixes the issue, and I would actually prefer it as long as
it is explained well ;-).

Thanks.
