That is, the distfile has several subdirectories, each with its own configure/make/install. Are there any best practices or suggestions for dealing with this scenario? I didn't find anything in the handbook, and list searches didn't turn up anything (though I don't know what exactly to search for). I have in the past simply created my own Makefile that descends into each subdir and builds them. Stick it into files.
