$(eval within conditional causes "missing `endif'" error

[Jan Beulich]

Hello,

investigating the possibilities the new features in make 3.80 offer I
found that I cannot have an $(eval inside any sort of conditional. As
the mailing list documents that this has already been observed I'd like
to find out what the intentions are to fix this. Especially would it
seem questionable to me whether the same logic as in the include
directive handling can be applied here, since it may be useful to be
able to interact with the conditionals state previously in effect.

Thank you very much,
