An SGML entity [0] or an xsltproc stringparam [1] looks viable.  Question is
how to calculate the number of decades in the Makefile.  It's trivial in SQL :)

    =# select extract(decade from now()) - extract(decade from date '1986-01-01');
     ?column?
    ----------
            4
    (1 row)
    
    =# select extract(day from now() - date '1986-01-01') / 365.25 / 10;
          ?column?
    --------------------
     3.7472963723477071
    (1 row)
