BUILT_SOURCES are built early, before anything else happens. It isn't
clear you always want this for sources that are built during the build
process. (I don't have an example though.)
I know I've thought of it before, though, since this is in TODO:
* notice when a .c file is a target somewhere, and auto-add it to
BUILT_SOURCES
