or to have conditional logic in a config file? They seem to act like fairly brain dead C header files, but we all know that you can do a lot with a header file and some conditional logic. I'm thinking of filing a feature request, but other people may know how to get around the limitations.

In the future we want to do general conditionals and expansions in the # logic for config files, but note that even the C++ preprocessor doesn't even do macro substitution in #include directives at this point.

What a shell (and the config files are rather modeled like shell scripts than preprocessed files) in contrary to config files is consecutive substitution (which is darn handy for a big list of paths):
FOO = abc
FOO = $(FOO) def
FOO = $(FOO) ghi
=>
FOO = abc def ghi
