This problem is causing significant difficulty for the gstreamer project:
we're being asked several times a day why automake goes to in excess of
150Mb when building the makefile.ins for our project.

defined variables, an array of possible combinations of conditional values
is generated. This array is, of course, of size 2^N, which implies that
only small numbers of conditionals can effectively be used together.
