Well, the canonical answer would be to stop trying to poorly reinvent
something awful, ie: autoconf, which already allows distros to set all
this stuff in a standard way... For example, the stuff in
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros:%configure which lets us muck with $libdir
and jazz.

libdir is really the only thing with variation across distros that can't
be handled in other ways, since the paths get hardcoded.
