 far enough to regenerate a working set of makefiles.  If this happens
 just rerun ./config.status by hand.
 
+If you go back and forth between different versions of your code you
+can sometimes find that `make' complains that one of your Subdir.sd.mk
+files is missing: typically, if iot was used and therefore a
+dependency in some other version of your code.  If you run `make
+clean' (or `make realclean') these dependencies are suppressed, which
+will clear up the problem.
