Comment:
Agreed; generating Makefiles from the configure script is bad enough, and
generating executable scripts is worse still.  Reintroducing setup.cfg.in
would be better, if that proves necessary.

Comment:
Using setup.py.in is the wrong strategy here: you should consider
placing the symbols into the generated Makefile or config.h
and then have setup.py parse these files (the tools for this
are all there in distutils).
