That is already done this way.  But you might need a way to regenerate the
Makefiles and config.h (e.g., if you add some functions to the library or
the header files, like when testing a beta version of the next DJGPP
release).  Since many packages have multi-directory structure where the
top-level Makefile invokes the sub-makes and sets variables which they
use, it is not a good idea to tell people to edit the files manually.
