I'm currently preparing a patch to install the documentation files
referenced in the various man pages.  While doing that I tried to add
the config options from configure into config/Tools.mk. But this fails
because @docdir@ expands to something like
${datadir}/doc/$PACKAGE_TARNAME instead of something useful. I see
DOCDIR and other variables are already hardcoded in Config.mk, and even
PYTHON is listed in Config.mk instead of Tools.mk.

Is there way to use the values passed to configure instead of hardcoding
them into Config.mk?
