My main concern here is about what kinds of additional restrictions this
might add to the Makefile.am files we are using.  For example, would
this script support nested conditionals like:

if BUILDOPT_FOO
if BUILDOPT_BAR
blah_SOURCES += foo-and-bar.c
endif
endif

etc.  Basically there will be an ongoing cost of having two independent
programs parsing the same Makefile.am files - we'll have to identify a
subset that works for both.

Yes, I think that's fine.
