It should be no different than other recursive Automake rules (e.g. 
'dist').  Each Makefile.am would concatenate its own source file list 
to a 'cscope.files' in the top level of the build directory. Once the 
rule in all the Makefile.am's has been executed, cscope would be 
executed.  In fact, I think that the existing 'make dist' is the best 
example of this because it is pretty similar.
