thanks -- i've gotten the whole shamozzle to build here now, and put
moocow back in LIB_TARGETS; I'll check the logs again tomorrow to see if
it's breaking anywhere, although a veritable plethora of (||true)s ought
to ensure that doesn't happen this time ;-)

i know i've seen recursive autotools projects, but none jumps to mind
immediately... maybe apache?  ardour?  xorg?

at any rate, the relevant autoconf macro appears to be
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.  in automake, the relevant variable is SUBDIRS, which
is allowed to be a macro substitution (SUBDIRS=@SUBDIRS_WE_REALLY_WANT@)
