Cleanup. Make Reduce complexity. Make things more clear.
I don't see an valid reason, why there are dozens of variables, which
are set on an non-obvious position (somewhere deep in the configure 
script), used only once and are also contant.

For example, if you wanna see the dependencies of some DDX, you normally
start looking in the appropriate Makefile.am. Here you see you have 
you search for some variable and find out how it is defined and what
value it currently has. Since the dependencies of the DDX are mostly
the same, they could be written down directly in Makefile.am
Yes, we sometimes have conditional dependencies, but they can also be 
easily put there.
