2) Whether to rename the above and reuse the names for the user (cleaner

say,

 am_RECURSIVE_TARGETS
 am_RECURSIVE_CLEAN_TARGETS
 am_ALL_RECURSIVE_TARGETS

I am not using these in my own makefiles, but perhaps someone else might be. If there is reason to believe that these variables might currently be used, then there is reason for caution since


3) Whether to document the s/$/-am/ rule for the per-directory target
so it then also holds for user-provided recursive rules.
(If yes, then we could share the rule code text between both.)

Comments?

Thanks,
Ralf
