Don't know whether it is intentional, but i do know how this happened.
Patch is below.

Well, you don't have to know Pike to use scripts written in it.

That's a patch for `Makefile.am'.  Once Dan runs `automake' over it
and you will run `./configure' at your machine, the change will be
in `Makefile' in all places where it is needed.  The point is that
`Makefile.am' is way shorter and simplier than `Makefile' itself.  No
one prevents you from hacking your `Makefile' directly, though.
