Patch for Mkvcbuild.pm is actually quite simple (see attach).

Really, I have more complicated patch, which supports recursive
substitution as gmake does. It was developed to simplify inclusion of
PGXS extensions into contrib tree. (authors of modern extension often
use complex Makefile constructs).

I've not presented it to community because I hoped that current MSVC
build system would be soon replaced by cmake.
