Aye, that looks better. And using the _no scope is probably better anyway,
as you mentioned.

Yes, you can call me a mouth-breathing sukkel for that. I thought _recipe
would be only the variables set in the current recipe's scope, but of
course it also has all the stuff inherited from the parent. For me the
solution was to set SUBDIRS= before reading in the stuff that is supposed
to set SUBDIRS.

Problem solved, and I can now get at least three KDE applications building
with AAP just using my automake wedge. That's a pretty good score, I
think.
