[fpc-pascal] command and variable substitution in fpcmake

Hi,
when using Makefiles something like this is executed at runtime, so a
variable can be set by a command:
PWD=`pwd`
or
PDW=$(pwd)
sets the Varaible $PWD to the current path.
If one of both forms is used in a fpcmake-file that doesn't work.
[dist]
destdir=`pwd`/dist
If used that way, the string "`pwd`/dist" is copied as is with no
replacement at all. I didn't try the other form because it's the
variable syntax in fpcmake-files.
How can I make command execution work?
If used in a [prerules] section it does work, which is as expected
because that section is only copied according to the manual.
TIA,
Marc
