Sorry, didn't comment on that in my first reply. Thanks for the hint.
I see that you want to collect all SOURCES. In this case, you could just
go ahead and evaluate both branches because the statement itself is
actually appending, but I understand that there are cases like this

win32 {
  APPENDIX = win
}
unix {
  APPENDIX = unix
}

SOURCES += process_$${APPENDIX}.cpp

and then just evaluating both branches will miss "win", so "=" needs to
be cumulative too, but I guess the only solution is then to really use a
cartesian product because even now, this will give

SOURCES += process_"win unix".cpp

instead of

SOURCES += process_win.cpp process_unix.cpp

(didn't try this one).
