right now, that is only possible by manually coding the recursion
yourself, for which you could copy code which automake generates
for its recursive rules.

Fixing that is a TODO item I hope to address in the near future:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.general/11890>

Still, the code Automake currently generates for the recheck,
check-html, and recheck-html targets only works well if all the
Makefile.am files you have testsuites in are leafs; i.e., they
should not themselves contain SUBDIRS.  Otherwise, the local
rules need to be renamed with 's/$/-am/'.

Cheers,
Ralf

associate a real name with a topic.  Thanks.
