Description
this would allow for something like:
ADDON_LIBS = C:\pathtolib\$$(Platform)\libfile.lib
which would be parsed to
path: C:\pathtolib\$(Platform)\
file: libfile.lib
this would be handy for VS since it uses the $(something) pattern for macros in project properties

Research direction
Start in addon_config.mk and trace how ADDON_LIBS values are parsed into paths and filenames. Verify the example with a Visual Studio-style $(Platform) macro, and consider the work complete when $$ produces a literal $ without changing ordinary path parsing.
