Because the previous order was:
  1. set projectroot to build-time default
  2. set projects_list to build-time default or $projectroot
  3. read variables, including $projectroot, from config file
If you kept $projects_list empty but set $projectroot in your config,
the value of projects_list would be the build-time $projectroot, not the
config-time. If you look further in the patch, you will see that we set
up projects_list later.
