: Sorry, I forgot to reply to this.  A simpler solution is to use
: a sub-variable.
:
: FILES = somefile.c $(FILES_IF_SOMETHING) $(FILES_IF_SOMETHING_ELSE) 
something.c
: if HAVE_SOMETHING
: FILES_IF_SOMETHING = someotherfile.c
: endif
: if HAVE_SOMETHING_ELSE
: FILES_IF_SOMETHING_ELSE = somethingelse.c

Yes, I know.  This is what I've been using.  The reason I posted this was
that I'm creating currently three different distributions from the same
code base, and it would be really nice to be able say what goes into what
distribution without messing up all Makefiles and repeating everything
three times in all Makefiles. :)  Also, the reason was to be able to make
more detailed list of what goes into a distribution (like which of the n
features) by using conditionals in _SOURCES and _HEADERS, etc.
