There's no reason why you need to make all of your makefiles autoconf
targets.  Just have autoconf generate a single makefile that your other
makefiles include.  autoconf supports this quite well.  We've been doing
things this way with INN from the beginning, and it's much faster and much
more convenient than the standard approach of having dozens of generated
makefiles, one for each directory.

You can't use automake, of course, but this is one of the major reasons
why I don't much like automake.
