I had a look (at v2). If this approach works then it's fine for now, but it repeats the sin of coupling configurations of (potentially) unrelated modules and will increase the build time for a normal build (at least it will from the looks of it). It can be fix as part of the cleanup, but I don't see an easy way to make it work "properly" with the current setup.
