Sorry, I don't get the connection here. The extension in question is
used to do things like have "configure" invoke "CC conftest.cpp"; it
isn't used for Makefiles, as far as I know.

suppose. Failing that, a documented approach along the lines that you
suggest would be OK, if it's needed. Is it needed? If so, can you
propose a patch along those lines?
