   If your externals are happy knowing that they'll be pulled into other
things, and possibly even know where in the code hierarchy they should be,
then could you embed a "config.h" *in* the external that does nothing but
'#include "../../config/myexternalname.h"', where "../../config" takes you
back out to a directory in the build-project ('parent' repo)?

   Then your build project contains (under config) the config files for each
external, instead of trying to inject them into the externals themselves.

   This is (vaguely) similar to what we do for build projects that pull in a
multitude of externals, each of which needs a little project-specific
customisation.
