yes.

well, the first step is sort of like that, so in foo/bar/src we may see

    ca_common_src = [
        'caconnectivitymanager.c',
        'cainterfacecontroller.c',
        'camessagehandler.c',
        'canetworkconfigurator.c',
        'caprotocolmessage.c',
        'caqueueingthread.c',
        'caretransmission.c',
    ]

    connectivity_env.AppendUnique(CA_SRC=ca_common_src)

but then based on options, that script may go on and invoke a script a
further level down, which does the dance I mentioned.  I know it's
trying to stuff the subdir name in with those files - because the
builder is eventually invoked at the higher level - without hardcoding it.
