It also seems to me that the rules to run orbit-idl should list orbit-idl
itself as a dependency, so that it will automatically re-generate the stubs,
skels, and headers when ORBit changes are made.

Is there a good reason not to update the Makefile.am files in Bonobo, and
elsewhere in GNOME, to work this way?
