That's an excellent suggestion. But I do find the hurd Makefiles rather
more complicated then neccesary. The topdirectory's Makeconf is just a mess to
make sense of. I'm not really sure this approach is better then just having a
Makefile in each directory which defines it's own rules instead of just
including the topdir's Makeconf.
