In my mail I drafted such a plan (at least for the kind of issues under discussion here, i.e., deeply nested lazy-eval variables evaluated several times). Didn't that sounds reasonable to you? If not, why? Honest question, not rethorical.I have not yet taken time to read and understand the plan.
I have now taken time to read and understand the plan. Automake can be adjust where it outputs its statements in the Makefile so that they may be directly evaluated, thereby reducing waste. The main concern I have is with included Makefile.am fragments. What assures that included Makefile.am fragments are injected in the right places so they have the correct effect when ordering matters? It may be that part of a fragment should appear early in the whole Makefile (to support the direct evaluation) while another part should appear later.
