RE: bz2lib autoconfiguration ??


AFAIK it's by design.

Adding new subdirs with separate packages typically involves a new
distribution. 

The --norecurse is to prevent changes to configure.[in|ac] at the top of
a set of related packages forcing reconfiguration for the sub-packages.
This has the side effect of not configuring added packages.
