There is more involved since it seems that the source code (at least
the headers) needs to be updated to understand the MY_ variant of the
defines.  Additional Makefile rules would need to be added to ensure
that my-config.h is created before any compilation takes place.
Otherwise this approach seems pretty trivial.
