"Configure" no longer creates kernel-src/vfs/linux and friends

Hi,

Since Coda 4.6.3, "configure" no longer creates directories for
compiling kernel module (kernel-src/vfs/{linux21,linux,...}).  Is it
intended, or it is just an oversight ? (I did not notice the problem
until when I tried to create a fresh build directory.)

If it is intended, then what is the recommended way to build kernel
modules ?

Comparing configure.in of Coda 4.4.3 and 4.6.5 (later release are all
similar to the latter), I find the following:

coda 4.4.3 (I reformed it a bit for easier reading.  -- clement)

AC_OUTPUT(Makefile Makeconf.setup  configs/Makefile 
kernel-src/Makefile 
kernel-src/inodefs/Makefile 
kernel-src/inodefs/common/Makefile 
kernel-src/inodefs/mach/Makefile 
kernel-src/inodefs/bsd44/Makefile 
kernel-src/inodefs/linux/Makefile 
kernel-src/vfs/Makefile  
kernel-src/vfs/includes/Makefile 
kernel-src/vfs/linux/Makefile 
kernel-src/vfs/linux21/Makefile 
kernel-src/vfs/bsd44/Makefile 
lib-src/Makefile
...)

coda 4.6.3

AC_OUTPUT(Makefile Makeconf.setup  
configs/Makefile 
kernel-src/Makefile 
kernel-src/vfs/Makefile  
kernel-src/vfs/includes/Makefile 
lib-src/Makefile 
...)

In other words, many entries were deleted in the new configure.in 
file.
