Please don't.  It's horrific enough already; let's fix it so that this 
logic is resolved where it belongs -- in the configure script.

Well, this is logic within the Makefile itself, which doesn't really fall 
into the realm of autotools at all; but maybe this *should* be handled at 
the autoconf level.  If appropriate testing was specified in configure.ac,
(or configure.in in this case, since winsup autoconfigury doesn't seem to 
have evolved since the Dark Ages), then this sort of logic really should 
not be required in Makefile.in.
