IIRC, as a result of autogen, there is Makefile per directory; all but leaf Makefiles
are recursive, i.e. Makefiles from higher levels of hierarchy call the ones at lower
levels of hierarchy.

So, a less generic than autogen solution is to add the Makefile manually
and to modify Makefile at higher level to call the newly added one.
