Autogen isn't magic.  :-(  It can't do anything you couldn't have done
by hand.  It makes expressing mechanical interdependencies easier 'cuz
you don't have to remember them.  They all can be plugged in, well,
mechanically.  You just have to figure out how to construct the actual
configured subdir list.  I'm not following the day-to-day edits of
Makefile.tpl closely enough to make suggestions on that.....
