oh, excellent point, thanks Maxime!

unfortunately, it won't help us much here, because one snippet modifies
Makefile.am, while the other Makefile.in.

once it's merged i'm planning to send another patch to staging that will clean
this up a little by building normal shepherd also from git. that patch will
include this inheritance.
