I don't think it makes sense to rename the option just for this. The
behavior is backward compatible, and adding the _URL prefix is not
really necessary.

You can use $(basename ...) instead of $(shell basename ...)

Is this really backward compatible with a value of
XENOMAI_ADEOS_PATCH_URL = board/foo/ipipe-core-<version>.patch ?
