The autoconf 2.5x manual, in node Subdirectories, describes the right
way to do it, namely, place AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS within the conditional
that determines whether to configure a sub-directory.  It even
explains why it warns (so that configure --help=recursive can know of
all sub-directories, without having to evaluate the conditionals).
