>Description:
Currently if you add a directory and update configure.in,
a simple "make" won't automatically update the new
directory.
It should.
Right now it fails because we run config.status on
a directory-by-directory basis instead of simply
running it once from the top level.
Nobody seems to know why this is done; just that it has
always been done this way.
