Yes. Maybe I should write a paper "nonrecursive make also considered harmful" just to be able to point people at it. It's overhyped. There is no need to be completely nonrecursive. There's been a lot of prior discussion, see for example <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/7238/focus=7241>. Cheers, Ralf
