[PATCH 00/22] Patches to avoid use of make recursion in the 'src/' subdir

[Stefano Lattarini]

This is a re-spin, extension and follow-up to this previous series:

    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-08/msg00257.html>

plus other follow-up fixlets and refactoring.  Thanks to Jim Meyering
for his testing of earlier iterations of this series, and his relentless
reporting of problems and errors.

Further testing would be appreciated.

Regards,
  Stefano
