Of course, dependency lines such as

	register.c: packet.c $(DISSECTOR_SOURCES) @SNMP_C@

would require a bit more work....

Then again, so does the "automake"/"autoconf"-generated stuff such as

	TAGS: tags-recursive $(HEADERS) $(SOURCES) config.h.in $(TAGS_DEPENDENCIES) $(LISP)

unless "autoconf" puts "$(srcdir)" in the appropriate places if
"$(srcdir)" is something *other* than "."  (The *rules* it generates
include "$(srcdir)", but the *dependencies* don't.)
