Description

Currently "makefile.configurations" contains "makePath", "makefilePath", "makeArgs" and "buildLog". It will soon contain "preconfigureScript" but maybe there are more that make sense to be defined at this level as well (buildLog, extensionLog, configurationCache, ... etc ...).

Research direction

Start with the makefile.configurations setting and compare the currently listed makePath, makefilePath, makeArgs, and buildLog entries with the global settings. Determine which additional settings, such as preconfigureScript, extensionLog, or configurationCache, should be scoped there; done means the configuration-level scope is clearly defined and implemented.
