Is there any obvious way to conditionally build modules and libs into
the kernel based on a feature flag? The only way I see it to be doable
is by re-using groups as known by gentpl.py, so that I may do the
following:

# Makefile.util.def

    library = {
      name = libgrubkern.a;
      cflags = '$(CFLAGS_GNULIB)';
      cppflags = '$(CPPFLAGS_GNULIB) -I$(srcdir)/grub-core/lib/json';
      argon2_cppflags = '$(CPPFLAGS_GNULIB) -I$(srcdir)/grub-core/lib/json 
-I$(srcdir)/grub-core/lib/argon2';

      common = util/misc.c;
      common = grub-core/kern/command.c;
      common = grub-core/kern/device.c;
      ...

      argon2 = grub-core/lib/argon2/argon2.c;
      argon2 = grub-core/lib/argon2/core.c;
      argon2 = grub-core/lib/argon2/ref.c;
      argon2 = grub-core/lib/argon2/blake2/blake2b.c;
    };

# grub-core/Makefile.core.def

    module = {
      name = argon2;
      common = lib/argon2/argon2.c;
      common = lib/argon2/core.c;
      common = lib/argon2/ref.c;
      common = lib/argon2/blake2/blake2b.c;
      enable = argon2;
    };

    module = {
      name = luks2;
      common = disk/luks2.c;
      common = lib/gnulib/base64.c;
      cflags = '$(CFLAGS_POSIX) $(CFLAGS_GNULIB)';
      cppflags = '$(CPPFLAGS_POSIX) $(CPPFLAGS_GNULIB) -I$(srcdir)/lib/json';
      argon2_cppflags = '$(CPPFLAGS_POSIX) $(CPPFLAGS_GNULIB) 
-I$(srcdir)/lib/json -I$(srcdir)/lib/argon2';
    };

I don't think that gentpl.py is currently able to act based on configure
options, but only decides by build platforms. Please let me know I'm
missing the bigger picture here, and if there's any module that already
does that kind of stuff that'd be a great help.
