My focus was more about an empty $(foodir), not an empty $(foo_DATA).
I was suggesting that it would be nice that an empty $(foodir)
disables any install in it, whatever the primary.  This is much
shorter than having to play with conditionals.

Currently "make install" does weird stuff in this situation, I can't
believe there would be incompatibilities issues.
