Hi,

I just encountered configure erroring out if there are dirs that contain 
subdirs with Makefile.{am,in}s, but the dir has no Makefile* with srcdir != 
builddir.

Example:
kdeaddons/doc/kicker-applets/ktimemon/
doc/ and kicker-applets/ do not contain Makefile.am's, thus no Makefile.in's 
are generated and configure can't write a Makefile into 
$builddir/doc/kicker-applets/ktimemon/ since its parent have not been 
created. Same thing happened somewhere in kdenonbeta and/or kde-i18n (can't 
remember exaclty). Manually creating those parent dirs helped. A quick fix 
would be Makefile.am's in those parent dirs that only contain a SUBDIRS = ... 
statement, but maybe it could be fixed in configure somewhere?

Thanks,
-Malte
