Maybe I'm not reading this right, but is the second if statement correct? It
seems to me that it builds with arts when configure option says"don't"
(--without-arts).
 

snip

if test "$build_arts" != "no"; then
 include_ARTS_TRUE=
 include_ARTS_FALSE='#'
else
 include_ARTS_TRUE='#'
 include_ARTS_FALSE=
fi
</quote>
 

It seems these macros are passed on to the Makefile(s) where they either 
comment something out or not.
Thus, when build_arts is anything but "no" (e.g. "absolutely not!" ;-) 
), parts that have
$(include_ARTS_TRUE) in front of them will be parsed, while parts that have
$(include_ARTS_FALSE) in front of them will be commented out. 
Counterintuitive as it
is, this seems to be correct.
