You could either write lib/config.h.in yourself; it could contain
  #include "some-special-name.h"

(also, you could just use a file lib/config.h -- there are no #defines
that are changed by configure).

Another possibility is to generate lib/config.h.in from
some-special-name.h.in, say, by some sed script or an autoheader
invocation with arguments and output redirection.

(I suppose another gnulib-specific possibility is that someone hacks
gnulib-tool to support arbitrary other configuration header file names;
or to undo the decision that was made last year to assume a config.h
header file.)

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
