Most notably anything that requires cmake.exlib or ant.exlib. This is bad.

Is this concept useful at all? Can we just nuke support for those variables
entirely?

If not what should things that don't use econf and/or emake do?

I use EXTRA_ECONF for multiple things: testing of independent modules say --with-openvz when using libvirt or to work around Exherbo bugs such as --enable-stackguard-randomization with glibc (since propolice doesn't really do to much without it).
