cf_gen_defines.h is being built. But cf_gen.o isn't being updated when
cf_gen_defines.h is updated. And AFAICT, automake has enough info to
make cf_gen_defines.h a dependency of cf_gen.o
Depending on your response to my question below - I'll put this in
manually, how do I file a feature request?

I think I'm confused. Are you saying that CVS may make cf_gen.$(OBJEXT)
depend on cf_gen_defines.h?
