Wow, that worked great! Thanks Vladimir!

Just for posterity I used

rule sourceToBin
{
local result = ;
local x ;
local m ;
for x in $(>)
{
m = [ MATCH [Ss]([0-9]*).[Pp][Rr][Oo] : $(x) ] ;
result += c$(m[1]).pro ;
}
return $(result) ;
}

test_list = [ sourceToBin : [ GLOB $(SRC_DIR) : s*.pro ] ] ;
echo $(test_list) ;
