I would be happy if there were a means to help
Automake-ng to know there are transitive rules
playing in here.  That's one of the nice features
from Make, so it would be nice that Automake new
about it.  Even if that means adding something
specific to tell Automake.

Also, Automake used to be magical, dwim.  Here,
reading the doc will be needed.
