I thought that if you defined something conditionally, you were supposed
to put it in an EXTRA_PRIMARY definition too, so that automake knew the
full set of stuff that might be built.

After all, lib_LTLIBRARIES might just as easily be an @libobject@ autoconf
substitution, where automake won't know what might be built.  Or, should
EXTRA_PRIMARY only be used for this type of conditional?
