   Now, those tests are skipped with a useful diagnostic when the root tests
   are run without following the instructions in README.
 
+  We now build most directories using non-recursive make rules.  I.e.,
+  rather than running make in man/, lib/, src/, tests/, instead, the top
+  level Makefile.am includes a $dir/local.mk that describes how to build
+  the targets in the corresponding directory.  Two directories remain
+  unconverted: po/, gnulib-tests/.  One nice side-effect is that the more
+  accurate dependencies have eliminated a nagging occasional failure that
+  was seen when running parallel "make syntax-check".

 * Noteworthy changes in release 8.19 (2012-08-20) [stable]
