There's a special configuration method for static properties of UDI drivers using a file called udiprops.txt. This file is distributed independently in each driver package for source code distributions and linked into a special section (called .udiprops) for binary distributions.
The udiprops.txt file doesn't only allow for static configuration options, but is also used in the building process for UDI drivers since they do not use makefiles - not that it would be technically unfeasible. The UDI specification defines tools for building, packaging and installing UDI drivers for simplicity's sake since, unlike POSIX tools, they don't require operating systems to have any extra functionality (e.g., a VFS). Luckly these tools are available in the reference implementation, all you need to do is build them.
Below you can see a sample udiprops.txt:
