Like this?

In addition to pass variables as make options it is also supported to
create a ".config" file in the toplevel directory. The file will be
sourced by make(1). It should contain the variables in the form
"variable := value". The usage of ":=" is prefered to override earlier
assignments to that variable by make(1).
