 I've never understood why this has been done like this and the configure
code author (Greg Noel) never explained it to me, unfortunately. But this
doesn't have anything to do with the question at hand: it's just a way of
"emulating" VPATH support.

 That's it. It is included by the Makefiles and contains all configure
definitions. This is, actually, a good idea, i.e. it's IMHO much better
than the usual approach of generating the Makefiles because like this
Makefiles are fully static and all detected stuff is in one place.

 Look at the various Names.mk files, they're fundamental for this build
system.
