Half of that equation would be a more generic script. Attached is what we
use for INN (which has a bunch of INN-specific bits, but also has the
basic framework for things).
The other half would be to set up a way of automatically running that
script on particular files, and that's something I've never done. I just
write explicit rules.

## Make variable substitutions in configuration files.

## This script does something very similar to what config.status does, but
## it fully resolves the various path variables (prefix, exec_prefix, etc.)
## so that they don't contain any variable substitutions. It's easier to
## do this in a separate script than try to use eval or the like to resolve
## the variable names inside configure, particularly since prefix and
## exec_prefix aren't set until the end of the script.
