  For example, lately I've been doing much hacking on librender, so
often just do "make -C librender && gui/fb-gnash -vv test.swf". Since
it's a small library, it recompiles quickly. If you look at the hwaccel
branch, you can see that while all top level libraries build
recursively, all the sub directories do use non-recursive Makefiles. I
think it's this hybrid technique that works best.

  Which I appreciate. Some of your other changes in the patch looked
fine, but I'm still catching up after traveling and being offline for a
bit. (conference then rock climbing)
