This is all fiddling with internal undocumented (i.e. possibly
version-specific) automake logic. Which means it's quite fragile and has
traditionally made updating to newer versions of autotools rather painful.
E.g. you are not expected to override *-recursive targets. Can't it
actually be done using documented techniques?
