Please don=E2=80=99t do that: the build system purposefully avoids recursive
makefiles, to improve parallelism etc. (see
<http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/>.)

However, the snippet about the =E2=80=98doc=E2=80=99 directory could be mov=
ed in, say,
doc.am, and have doc.am included from Makefile.am.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
