While I do not have strong objections to make the build process
go faster, it is somewhat disturbing that the Makefile pieces
maintained in subdirectories need to name things they touch
using paths that include the subdirectory names.  I do not have
a better alternative to suggest, though...

I'd keep it in the proposed updates branch for now and wait for
a bit until discussions on the list die out.
