variables in configure arguments

Hello,

I have to install the targets in directories reflecting the build 
configuration, host and compiler. To do so, I've defined --prefix in the 
'Project Options / Configure Options / Configure arguments'. It looks like 
this:

--prefix=$_/../../..  --bindir=$_/../../../bin/`eval echo 
Debug-$(uname -i)-gcc$(gcc -dumpversion)` --libdir=$_/../../../bin/`eval echo 
Debug-$(uname -i)-gcc$(gcc -dumpversion)` --program-suffix=-`eval echo 
Debug-$(uname -i)-gcc$(gcc -dumpversion)`

Since this is neither readable nor maintainable, I'm wondering if it
is possible to define variables somewhere in kdevelop and use them, e.g. in 
the 'Configure argument' or 'Environment Variables'?

What I want is defining a variable 
BuildName=`eval echo $(ConfigurationName)-$(uname -i)-gcc$(gcc -dumpversion)`
instead of duplicating the definition.


Thanks for any answer.

Jörg Becker
