Yeah, that's what I'm referring to. gen-make.py hardcodes `basename
$buildconf .conf`-outputs.mk and autogen.sh hardcodes build.conf. It
just seemed funny that they were made mostly-configurable in
gen-make.py, gen_base.py, and gen_make.py, when apparently no one uses
it with anything other than build.conf. Not a huge deal.
