I would be happy with that approach.

The alternative would be to move these settings into a separate
makefile where we promise that support-matrix-generate's assumption
(that you can make -f just-that-file and get sensible behaviour) is
going to be kept true.

Perhaps I should apologise for perpetrating the existing now-broken
code.  But there was no less insane official way of getting the
version out without checking out the whole tree...
