Read the MPL again. It's not clear to me that you need to MPL all your
code if you include unmodified source from something that is covered by
MPL. But if you include MPL'd source, you certainly have to make it clear
what code is covered by the MPL and what is not. And maybe I don't know
what I am talking about because I didn't read the MPL closely enough.
Maybe GPL forbids you from linking to non-GPL'd code? This doesn't seem
likely, since then how would you e.g. link any GPL'd code to a non-GPL
libc?
On a related topic, what's wrong with having a file that's included by
Makefiles to configure the build? If you do it right, people can copy
these files from version to version, and can comment/uncomment if they want
multiple configurations. No fancy scripts, but requires a text editor and
maybe some documentation so people can figure it out.
