Change the makefile template language somewhat. Previously variables
had been denoted with @{var:NAME}, this has changed to %{NAME}. This is pretty much a wash for configure.pl but it makes it much easier to process the templates using Python's string.Template. The logic being the 'var:' prefix had been to support conditional statements in the templates (using an 'if:' prefix), but this functionality was not being used and support for it is removed from configure.pl in this revision. For a similiar reason, rename a number of template variables with hyphens in their name to use underscores instead. This is slightly more consistent anyway (since many variable names had already used _ instead of -) but more importantly makes them much easier to deal with using aforementioned Python template code. This should not result in any user-visible change (unless I messed up).
