This gives us a few benefits:
1) make -j clean all
this will start working, as it should. It currently doesn't.
2) increased parallel build
recursive make will max out at number of files in a directory,
non-recursive make doesn't have such a limitation
3) Removal of duplicate information in make files,
less error prone
I've also slightly updated how we call AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, as the way
that was used was not only deprecated but will be *removed* in the next
major automake release (1.13).... so probably best that we can continue
to bulid tor without requiring old automake.
(see http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Public-Macros.html )
For more reasons why, see resources such as:

I don't personally agree that this is likely to be easy to exploit,
and some initial experimention I've done suggests that cache-miss
times are just plain too fast to get useful info out of when they're
mixed up with the rest of Tor's timing noise. Nevertheless, I'm
leaving Robert's initial changelog entry in the git history so that he
can be the voice of reason if I'm wrong. :)
This makes the V=1 or V=0 automake silent build options display (or hide)
the full command line used.
GEN foo.bar
will be seen rather than the full command.
As with all automake silent rules, "make V=1" will output the full command.
$ make V=1 # will temporarily disable them
otherwise you see:
CC foo.c
rather than the giant long bulid line.
This makes it significantly easier to spot compiler warnings etc.
Additionally, make them conditional, so we won't error on automake <
1.11

In 0.2.3.18-rc, we started warning on this case while building a
list of missing microdescriptor digests. That turned out to spam
the logs; instead let's warn at parse time.
Partial fix for bug 6404.
The spec requires that every router in a microdesc consensus have an
m line; we weren't obeying that spec.
This creates a new consensus method (13) to allow voting to continue
to work right. Partial fix for bug 6404; fix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
