The objective is to restore the pattern used by all input and video
drivers. I agree it's not a big deal for DRIVER_NAME. I am open to
suggestions to re-write this piece if something better is found. It's
easier and less error prone if the same configuration is done the same
way. 

Just thinking about pros and cons now, using the DRIVER_NAME variable
probably prevents hard to find typos in the driver name when it is being
repeated many times. Just like we do in C with #define.

There was no comment as to why it was changed, I thought perhaps I
missed something.

        xf86-input-acecad/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-aiptek/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-evdev/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-joystick/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-keyboard/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@	<-----
        xf86-input-mouse/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-penmount/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-synaptics/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-vmmouse/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-void/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@
        xf86-input-wacom/src/Makefile.am:@DRIVER_NAME at _drv_ladir = @inputdir@

    + all the video drivers

BTW, I posted v2 for xorg-server.pc

Thanks
