Ah, so it does.  I hadn't noticed; the trouble is that it doesn't
actually make tags files.  These are just generic targets to make tags
in a bunch of subdirectories whose Makefiles don't have tags targets,
and which don't contain sources....

Still I suppose it might be inappropriate to circumvent automake.  It's
the sort of tool that only buries you if you don't play its way.  As I
said, it's only a small thing.
