Re: multiple AM_INIT_AUTOMAKEs cause problems

[Christopher Sean Morrison]

Thanks for the tip and it does look useful, though that doesn't affect 
whether or not all compilations are run through depcomp does it?  Our 
non-CVS source distributions are easily treated as static sources that 
won't change much beyond simple build tweaking and minor bug fixing.  
So the extra include dependency checking (from my perhaps limited 
understanding and observations) pretty much just slows down the build 
on those non-CVS source compilations.  On several of the older 
supported systems, a significant compile-time boost is gained by 
disabling the dependency checking.  Any other ideas for conditionally 
disabling dependency checking?  Thanks again..

Cheers!
Sean
