Yep.  I added scmconfig.h to the .x and .doc files dependencies,
because they run cpp.

For the .o files depending on scmconfig.h, I don't think there's a
good way to express that with automake.  The magic dependency tracking
might be supposed to do it, but I find that too painful.

BUILT_SOURCES (where scmconfig.h already is) is usually the easiest
way to get stuff done before building main .o files etc.  In our case
its defeated because guile.texi is in BUILT_SOURCES too, and it
depends on the main "guile" target, so that starts on the .o files for
libguile (under a parallel make).  But is guile.texi actually used for
anything?
