Hi Stefano, It was unclear to me that the kind of error that would arise would be *only* be due to Automake-NG's implementation, or partly due to the user (possibly declaring recursive dependencies). If the user is somewhat responsible, then she should be told. But of course if it's only a technical detail, let's keep it silent, clearly.
