Automake magic is the reason.

The executable in src/ is named 'curl' so the variable in src/Makefile.am that
lists/defines all its sources must be named "curl_SOURCES" just as the
variable in lib/Makefile.am needs to be named libcurl_la_SOURCES.

This said, you can name it whatever you like in Makefile.inc, and then do the
automake-specific name within the .am file, just like the lib/Makefile.am file
does.
