Definitely not :)

The Automake manual makes reference to Peter Miller's paper
(http://www.pcug.org.au/~millerp/rmch/recu-make-cons-harm.html).  I've
been trying to adopt those ideas as much as possible, and so far have
succeeded in not requiring any recursive invocations of make.  Your
suggestion would require recursive make, correct?
