Yes, agreed as well, but I think nobody is suggesting that you have to
be completely nonrecursive.
It often helps a lot to have fewer Makefiles than one per directory,
especially in parts of a source tree where they are rather simple.

But wouldn't they be easier to maintain if there were an "import"
feature?
