.DEFAULT: rule

[Andrew Cagney <cagney@redhat.com>]

A heads up (and of course better solution welcome).

Automake's generated dependencies cause a build to fail when a file is 
removed.  This occures because the generated .Po file retains references 
to the removed files and make aborts the build with file not found.

I've now added this:
+.DEFAULT:
+       @echo " >>>>> .DEFAULT: $@ <<<<<"
to the build which tells make to ignore missing files.  If a file was 
really needed the build still dies but later when something goes to use 
the file.  If the file really wasn't needed, such as stale references in 
.Po files, the problem gets flushed out.

lets see how it goes,
Andrew
