Well, make this a (separate?) output file. What you need is an input
file that will include @VAR_NAME@ for every varaible you want to output.
Maybe we can find a clever way of generating this file on-the-fly (from
the libraries search macro, e.g).

Seems like a useful direction?

What I don't like about menuselect, is that it includes information
autoconf should be aware of, and is not.

For instance: do we have a local copy of ilbc? of gsm? Do we have a
system copy of ilbc? of gsm? autoconf can tell of the system copies, and
menuselect of the local copies.
