FYI: how to make automake not require GNU make

This doesn't really matter anymore, since Apache 2.0 has been switched
away from automake, but it should be in the archives if this issue
ever comes up again. From a discussion on another list, I found that
automake was requiring GNU make because --include-deps wasn't added as
an argument. I haven't seen this statement anywhere in the
documentation, but, from automake's depend.am:

## This fragment is probably only useful for maintainers.  It relies
## on GNU make and gcc.  It is only included in the generated
## Makefile.in if `automake' is not passed the `--include-deps' flag.

The symptoms of this look remarkably similar to the problems we had
compiling on systems without gmake.
