I don't have anything specific in mind. I can think of ways which use
varying subsets of conditionals, includes, prefix and suffix
substitutions, and immediate evaluation (like gmake := )
If someone can propose a maintainable solution which uses none of
these, I'll shut up. I just haven't seen one yet.
BTW, a working definition of "maintainable" in this case is "one which
can be augmented to support new systems in a straighforward manner,
and doesn't break frequently enough or badly enough that I groan when
I see library builds fail."
