Re: automake -vs- huge projects

[Bob Friesenhahn]

Another thing that would help reduce Makefile size is to introduce
synonyms for subdirectory paths.  For example,

  java/awt/print/$(DEPDIR)/

could be reduced to $(am_f123).  This would of course obfusticate the
Makefile, so it should be made optional, or allow the user to specify
part of the name so it is still comprehensible.
