Would it work to build the contents i libmergeant before the content
in libmergeant/handlers? In that case changing the row

SUBDIRS = handlers

to

SUBDIRS = . handlers

should work. See info://automake/Top+level

Ah, good, now that works. Instead I got another error related to
libgda. Lets see... yes, updating libgda from CVS fixed that. Could be
mentioned in the README that you need CVS-version of libgda from after
2004-02-28. Otherwise you need to install sql-parser.h by hand. Or
something like that, I haven't studied it thoroughly.
