SUBDIRs and slashes

[Marty Leisner]

In recursive subsystems, some follow the rule
        "1 Makefile per directory"

I like to follow that rule when the Makefile does things besides
recurse.

We have an architecture where each subdirectory has source and include --
i.e.

foo/source
foo/include

I had to put a makefile in foo which just has the line:
        SUBDIRS=source

So I wouldn't get:
common/Makefile.am:1: directory should not contain `/'

Just wondering for some thoughts on this matter...is there any
reason to insist on single level source directories in recursive make...
