Anyone know why we don't have automatic Makefile rebuilding stuff in all of
our Makefiles?  Basically, it would look something like:

ROOT=/where/xemacs/source/lives
...
Makefile: $(srcdir)/Makefile.in $(ROOT)/config.status
	(cd $(ROOT); CONFIG_FILES=path/to/this/Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= ./config.status)
