No, I'm not. Whether I had changed this or not there was something that
bapt had to change in each of these Makefiles. Now it's just a different
thing that he has to change. In fact in some case this change makes it
easier since it's just one line that has to be removed.

If you believe differently, please demonstrate exactly how it will be
harder.
