Gah.  Good catch.

Why do these repeat the 'patsubst ...' expression instead of using
SCRIPT_PERL_GEN, by the way?

Subject: Makefile: simplify by using SCRIPT_{PERL,SH}_GEN macros

SCRIPT_PERL_GEN is defined as $(patsubst %.perl,%,$(SCRIPT_PERL)) for
use in targets like build-perl-script used by makefiles in
subdirectories that override SCRIPT_PERL (see v1.8.2-rc0~17^2,
"git-remote-mediawiki: use toplevel's Makefile", 2013-02-08).

The same expression is used in the rules that actually write the
generated perl scripts, and since this rules were introduced before
SCRIPT_PERL_GEN, they use the longhand instead of that macro.  Use the
macro to make reading easier.

Likewise for SCRIPT_SH_GEN.  The Python rules already got the same
simplification in v1.8.4-rc0~162^2~8 (2013-05-24).
