[PATCH] subdirs target dep in admin/Makefile.common

moin,

this tiny patch seems to rather controversial: micha and coolo insist
that it is wrong. i claim the opposite, of course.

it does two things:
- it adds a dependency of "subdirs" on "Makefile.am.in" (if the latter
  exists). this is required to make a simple "make" act upon changes of
  the compilation order defined with the relatively new 
  COMPILE_(BEFORE|AFTER)_ macros in Makefile.am.in.
  m&c claim that i'm fixing the wrong thing, but i've got another theory
  (they didn't bother to comment on this, so it remained a theory up to
  now): unsermake creates slightly different Makefiles (with broken
  dependencies), so my patch doesn't have any effect for them. hmm ...
- it removes the explicit dependency of configure.in on subdirs, as
  configure.files depends on subdirs and configure.in depends on
  configure.files. this _does_ work (prove the opposite, micha ;).

greetings
