You can put these same lines, but without the double quotes, in
config_host.mk.

However, I don't like the fact that you have to muck with this file
manually. Indeed, your paths seem to be different than what our build
system expects. Maybe we should add options to ./configure to set
these variables directly, or use a more intelligent setup like:

#set arch in some way
if test "$CL_X64" = "YES" ; then
  arch=amd64
else
  arch=i386
fi
for d in $COMPATH/atlmfc/lib $WINDOWS_SDK_HOME/lib/ATL/${arch} $WINDOWS_SDK_HOME/lib; do
  if test -d "${d}"; then
    ATL_LIB="${d}"
    break
  fi
done


I don't understand why in your current setup the path we look in
depends on the value of "$DISABLE_ACTIVEX"... I'd guess it should
rather depend on the version of the compiler / platform sdk /
... being used?
