Yes, something like that seem like a good solution. I wonder how much gnulib can help with this though. So far, nothing in gnulib is installed by 'make install', and the foo-config.h file has to have a unique name for each project. Also, these modules will have to be named something differently, e.g., external-ssize_t, to not confuse them with "normal" modules.
