Depends on how many makefiles do you have - as automake doesn't
allow me to put subdirectory source files into one single makefile
I've 57 Makefiles in the whole avifile project (which now
almost succesfull pass even make distcheck test except for few minore
issues - i.e. for some reason depcomp is not included in one of its
subdirs)

I'm of course using config.cache - so that's why I'm complaing about
Makefile creation - as the time of makefile processing is 
aproximately 3 times as big as the whole process of detectecion.
That's why I do believe it's really a problem which shuold be solved.
