        For automake PR/46:
        * lib/am/configure.am (%MAKEFILE-IN%): If Makefile.in is rebuilt
        because of one of configure's dependency, run automake without
        argument to update the whole tree at once.  Depend upon
        %CONFIGURE_DEPS%.
        (%MAKEFILE%): If Makefile is rebuilt because config.status has
        been updated, run config.status without arguments.
        * automake.in (scan_autoconf_traces): Prepent $(top_srcdir)
        before all files in @configure_deps.
        * tests/subdir5.test: Modernize configure.in, make sure
        maude/Makefile was actually created, and exercize %CONFIGURE_DEPS%.
        * tests/subdir8.test: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add subdir8.test.
        (XFAIL_TESTS): Replace subdir5.test by subdir8.test.

This is a great patch.  Please, do install it!  I would like to
emphasize that its main effect will probably be less that subdir5
passes (adding a directory is not that common) than speeding up the
builds (changing something in the top level, e.g., configure.ac is
quite common).  NEWS should not keep the second Kiss Cool Effect quiet :)
