Nope. It may seem so, but it's not, because this:
> if ENABLE_GTK_DOC_TRUE
| bla
| else
| blubb
| endif
will turn into
| @address@hidden
| @address@hidden
in Makefile.in. However, strictly speaking this is an implementation
detail you should not have to worry about at all (and should not rely
on either).
Cheers,
