I would like to point out that my previous gripe about the unnecessary translation of Automake target names (particularly when the target includes a path), and the subsequent proposal to add user-level target synonyms, dovetails nicely with the need to reduce the Makefile size. The synonyms can help eliminate the size increase caused by the directory path itself. For typical subdirectory path lengths, this could result in a 40% Makefile size reduction.
