Hi Alexandre,
One gets confused over whether one is speaking "automake" or "make"-ese.
Such an automated rule is useful when one is trying to work with
minimalist "Makefile"s, but once you start playing with "automake"
I don't think the term "minimalist" applies any more. :-) So, I'll
add some rule like:
.c:
@:
to the Makefile.am file and force it to leave things alone, yes?
Thanks - Bruce
