Also, it doesn't even list those directories in the Makefile, so we
don't waste time checking - repeatedly - to see if they're configured.

More accurately, it can configure one module while it starts building

Yup. It should at least be "cd foo && make" not "cd foo; make", but a
make:configure dependency might be missing too. Nate?
