 8.4 Built sources
 =================
 
 Occasionally a file which would otherwise be called `source' (e.g. a C
 `.h' file) is actually derived from some other file.  Such files should
 be listed in the `BUILT_SOURCES' variable.  
 
    Built sources are also not compiled by default.  You must explicitly
 mention them in some other `_SOURCES' variable for this to happen.
 
    Note that, in some cases, `BUILT_SOURCES' will work in somewhat
 surprising ways.  In order to get the built sources to work with
 automatic dependency tracking, the `Makefile' must depend on
 `$(BUILT_SOURCES)'.  This can cause these sources to be rebuilt at what
 might seem like funny times.
