RFC because I think it would be better to make the 'blobs'
option a 'feature' instead of a boolean so we can set it
as 'auto' and then in that case we could do something


Yes it's better to do that and have

install_blobs = get_option('install_blobs').enabled() or
  (get_option('install_blobs').auto() and have_system)

And then if get_option('install_blobs').auto() you could install blobs 
only if the corresponding target is included in target_dirs:


if get_option('install_blobs').enabled() or 'i386-softmmu' in 
target_dirs or 'x86_64-softmmu' in target_dirs

  ...
endif

Paolo


   blobs = have_system

because currently ./configure still displays:

 Install blobs: YES

which is confusing.
