The 'config/feature-tests.mak' stuff is still needed for the rest
of the Makefile at this point. Althought all the checking stuff is
moved with final patch into config/Makefile, I wanted middle commit
to stay functional.

Now I wonder if I include 'config/feature-tests.mak' from 'config/Makefile'
wether it afects top level Makefile environment or not (my initial thought).
I'll double check that and remove if necessary.

thanks,
