Just to be that person who says "well, actually"...

The piglit recipe uses PACKAGECONFIG and that is pure Python.  You can
still have a configure phase with Python code.

Any recipe is welcome to use the PACKAGECONFIG variable, it just has to
respect PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS which apart from a few recipes with entirely
home-grown build systems is done in the classes.
