Yes, that's the problem. The header files for ui should be created before
entering subdirs, which then are required to compile main dir. I admit this
is tricky. But this will change: I'm now using a plugin mechanism, so libraries
from subdirs are dynamically loaded at run-time, there's no dependence
anymore. So you can compile completely the main dir first, then compile the
subdirs. Until then we have to deal with the current code. I tried to add a
dependence for the "all-recursive" tag on "HFILES", but it doesn't seem
to work for everybody (it used to work on my system).

Michael.
