It’s more than that. There are two other GNU make-isms in that one line.

Yes, defined as “auto.def, automake/*, src/main.mk, or Makefile.in has changed.”
But that’s already done. What I removed in [454e1193] is just a wrapper around
that to prevent it from happening when you say “make clean” while one of those
conditions is true:
$ touch auto.def
$ make clean
…reconfiguring
…rm -rf bld/* fossil
There’s no point reconfiguring in that case, but without the condition, it
happens anyway.

That does not appear to be necessary. I did not explicitly make Makefile a
dependency of any other top-level target, yet “touch auto.def ; make” does
reconfigure somehow. I’m guessing I’m relying on one of GNU & BSD make’s
automatic rules.
