Sorry if I confused you.

The order of filter-out/patsubst was not a real problem,
but just a matter of taste.

Your original code used $(filter-out ./, ...),
but this could not filter out anything.  This is the root cause.

I will remove this paragraph because it is even confusing.

Thanks for the credit, but it is regular review process,
so it is not mandatory in git-log.  :-)


I will pick up this patch shortly anyway.
