Uh, if I remember correctly, completion in assignments is hard-wired
for compctl.

Use the new completion system and:

  _value:PROJECT() { _files -g '*.mak(:r)' -S ' ' }

or, if it accepts colon-separated lists of such files:

  _value:PROJECT() { compset -P '*:'; _files -g '*.mak(:r)' -qS: }



Bye
