Most probably. But in most cases, the variant part is handled by the
COMMANDS which are run beforehand, so in most cases all the magic we
need is already given.
And in fact, but maybe this reasoning is naive, dependencies which
must be factored are about targets which must be already specified in
the *.am file, therefore, a priori, it should be also possible to use
these targets in the factored dependencies.
