Yes. This is what the 'sed' program

      /gl_MODULES(/ {
        ta
        :a
          s/)/)/
          tb
          N
          ba
        :b
        s,^.*gl_MODULES([[ ]*\([^]"$`\\)]*\).*$,cached_specified_modules="\1",p
      }

is doing. Find a nice way to do this in Python, and you got this part
done. The other parts (gl_LOCAL_DIR etc.) are even simpler, because
once you have found the line, all processing takes place in a single line.
