Details:

There is a well-known make feature. If you want to define some piece of code
to call it with different parameters, for example:

define code
x_$1 = some value
y_$1 = $(x_$1) append value
do-$1:
    @echo x = $(x_$1)
    @echo y = $(y_$1)
endef
$(eval $(call code,foo))
$(eval $(call code,bar))
all: echo-foo echo-bar

You can't do it like this, you must escape evaluation during $(call ...) and
type $$(x_$1) and $$(y_$1) instead. I don't think this is cool I've seen
Makefiles with four or five dollars in a row.

So since make 4.x added support for writing custom functions I've add $(callv
...) and I want to share it with you:

https://github.com/technic/make-callv

usage: $(callv var,x1,x2,...,x9)
It simply calls $(value var) and than replaces $1,$2,...,$9 with x1,x2,...x9
properly. But $$1 stays untouched.
