Re: [PATCH 2/2] build: don't duplicate substitution of make variables

Thanks to our 'GIT_CONF_SUBST' layer in configure.ac, a make variable 'VAR'
can be defined to a value 'VAL' at ./configure runtime in our build system
simply by using "GIT_CONF_SUBST([VAR], [VAL])" in configure.ac, rather than
having both to call "AC_SUBST([VAR], [VAL])" in configure.ac and adding the
'VAR = @VAR@' definition in config.mak.in.  Less duplication, less margin
for error, less possibility of confusion.

While at it, fix some formatting issues in configure.ac that unnecessarily
obscured the code flow.

Is there some consistent policy regarding SP vs HT in the
indentation you are using in this patch?  These two hunks suggest
that you may be favoring spaces, but other places you seem to use
tabs, so...
