The expressions may be parsed and then cached and evaluated multiple
times. They are evaluated lazily so that literals such as ',' can be
treated as universal parameter separators, and can be processed from
results without appearing literally, and without interfering with the
parsing/evaluation of the entire expression.
This expression evaluates to '1' or '0' to indicate whether the build
configuration for which the expression is evaluated matches tha named
configuration. In combination with the "$<0:...>" and "$<1:...>"
expressions this allows per-configuration content to be generated.
