What about another approach:

  - add a new packages for each of fftw-{single,double,long-double,quad},
  - make fftw depends on all of those that are actually enabled, but
    fftw by itself does nothing,
  - if fftw is enabled, ensure that at least one variant is enabled.

Thus, packages that need any flavour of fftw can just select/depend on
fftw, while those that require specific variant would select/depend what
they need.
