 This is all fiddling with internal undocumented (i.e. possibly 
version-specific) automake logic.  Which means it's quite fragile and has 
traditionally made updating to newer versions of autotools rather painful.  
E.g. you are not expected to override *-recursive targets.  Can't it 
actually be done using documented techniques?
