According to the manual these variables are used to control whether
bytecode compilation is done.  I agree that having this controlled by
these variables is somewhat ugly.  What if we added a new
AUTOMAKE_OPTION instead?

Shouldn't we also support the `nobase_' prefix here?
That is as easy as making the basename step conditional.
See lib/am/lisp.am for an example.
