	Mine is designed to replace the work done by autoconf (i.e. configure 
no longer copies over all of the Makefiles and creates all of the 
subdirectories.  The master Makefile does this as needed).  This avoids 
having to change autoconf/configure.ac every time we add a new directory 
with a new Makefile (although at times that will still be necessary).

	I'm planning on adding stuff later that will do better dependency 
checking (i.e. create the directories and Makefiles only if they don't 
exist).
