Research direction

Start by reviewing the build entry points and existing handling for DEFAULT_LOADER, EFIDIR, and ENABLE_HTTPBOOT. Compare how a config.h target could receive values from a checked-in file, git config, or make command-line variables. Done means the requested options are consistently available through config.h without breaking the current build.
