BIG WARNING regarding autoconf 2.59: stupid or nonexistent
dependency checking wrt. sincluded files. It doesn't seem to
follow sinclude wrt. changes, so if there was a change only in
such a file, configure isn't remade. So, I recommend always
using --force. Clues correcting any misunderstanding on my part
are welcome.
