A property is a way to associate a value with a name that can then be
referenced by that name, using the form ${property_name}. The property
name is whatever you want to call it, although it's usually a good idea to
call it something that says something about the value it holds. For
example, a property to hold the path to the top of the source tree might
be called "srcdir". Properties are used to allow for a variable value or
as a means of having a short-hand way of referring to something.
