 Give a warning in the category 'unsupported' if the 'subdir-objects'
 option is not specified.  This should give the users enough forewarning
 about the planned change, and give them time to update their packages
 to the new semantic.
 
-This warning, when there are C sources in subdirs, should also mention the
-need to use AM_PROG_CC_C_O in configure.ac (thanks to Peter Breitenlohner
-for suggesting this).  This is not strictly required, but will make
-things a little simpler for the users, by giving a more complete feedback:

 Be sure to avoid the warning when it would be irrelevant, i.e., if all
 source files sit in "current" directory (thanks to Peter Johansson for
 suggesting this).

 Still keep the 'subdir-object' option supported (as a simple no-op
 now), to save useless churn in our user's build systems.
