[gDesklets] Non-recursive make



Hi all,

Probably the last thing I'd like to do for 0.36.3 is is implement
non-recursive make, but I wanted to run it past the list first.  This has
been on my mind for a while, but I didn't know what to do about it until
recently.  I only noticed the "problem" as a result of Gentoo bug #215300
[1]; the summary is that recursive, parallel make (the way we do it now)
fails sometimes.  I think it's not a huge issue to work around for gDesklets
since there are so few compiled files, but it still seems like the better
thing to do [2].  I believe I have this working here, but I wonder what
others think first.

As for testing, all I can think of is testing that `make && make install`
produces the same installed files as the current build system does.  And
that `make dist` produces a nice .tar.bz2 file.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Joe
