__ in rpm macros

Hmm.. I wonder why do we use __ in front of %{__make} and especially
%{__autoconf} and %{__automake}. In C prefixing __ to name means: "don't
touch, internal stuff". While in case of make it makes some sense (it
expands to /usr/bin/make itself and nothing more, in default setup at
least), but %{__automake} has several options. 

I guess it would be better to use %automake and %autoconf (and maybe
%make).
