With unsermake approaching fast, the old-style of doing AC_SUBST in
configure.in.in for BLAH_DIRS is becoming obsolete in the KDE CVS
repository anyway. The new approach uses automake conditionals,
which perfectly match with John's first approach:

...
if include_foobar
FOOBAR_SUBDIR=bleh
endif

SUBDIRS = ... $(FOOBAR_SUBDIR)

and in configure.in.in then

AM_CONDITIONALS(include_foobar, <some test here>)
