On the whole, yes, we can agree. My heartburn with this is that I
believe it's bad form for an application to alter another without
explicit agreement. That said, this may work:

Add a variable to the make file that must be set, e.g., MODIFY_TEXMF
similar the the USA_RESIDENT variable for the encryption ports. If not
set, the make file will fail in the beginning when the user is paying
attention. With a short description of the changes to be made, the
user can make an informed decision.

The changes should probably be additions like
"hash_extra.jadetex=50000", although if the user agreed, it isn't
necessary. I haven't played with that form of option much, but they
appear to work as advertised. It would also be good form to back up
the original configuration and delete the word "original" from the
modified file.
