Never ever use Makefile. If you want your project stay useful. Make a
mental experiment. Let you download any project that uses Makefile,
including Ada projects. What are chances that you will be able to compile
it? Without ./configure it is less than 10%. With ./configure it is less
than 1%. For anything complex (e.g. GtkAda) it is plain 0%.

The best way to do conditional "with" (the method suggested by Simon does
not work, I tried it before), is to include the project always but make it
empty for the targets it does not support (e.g. no source files).
