I think we ought to support this but we currently do not.  We don't
support it because, previously, making it possible to have a variable
both conditionally and unconditionally defined was too hard.

Now I think we can handle it, we just have to implement it.

I think there is an automake PR on this issue.

No, I did.  I missed the `-c'.
