When I first made the Tcl/Tk version, I couldn't figure out how to make
automake/autoconf handle both the Tcl and non-Tcl compile and install.
The above warnings come from the hack that I added to get the right
behavior.  It was the first thing that I tried that worked right.  I'm
sure there is another, more proper way to get the right install location,
but I haven't spent any time figuring out what it is.

The source of the warnings comes from defining ALL_TARGET and INSTALL_TARGET
at the bottom of Makefile.am.  These two are already defined by automake,
and the original definitions end up being defined in the Makefile as
"all-target" and "install-target", respectively.  These are defined by
automake in the definition for $(RECURSIVE_TARGETS).  The proper solution
I suspect involves defining $target-am.
