what is $(ps .. ) in zaptel makefile?

Hi

One of the current differences between my package and the deb is:

diff -ur ./Makefile ../Debs/zaptel-1.0.4/Makefile
--- ./Makefile  2005-02-19 14:37:35.000000000 +0200
+++ ../Debs/zaptel-1.0.4/Makefile       2005-02-24 13:40:40.000000000 +0200

BTW: is there something to gain from using := in the asterisk makefiles, 
with the common use of $(shell ...) ?
