Actually, the method you describe here has been used in GNU's automake tool for quite a while. I wrote up a description of it and it's at my web site, referenced below.
This method also uses an already-existing feature of GNU make, which serves the same purpose as the patch you provided (allowing make to not fail if the header file is renamed or removed). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
