To answer my own comment, I just discovered Autobook section 7.7 which tells
how to do this.  It is so simple that I couldn't resist trying a proof of
concept in examples/c/Makefile.am.  That worked immediately so I have just
committed it.

Joao, please try "make check" and tell me if that satisfies your developer
needs for convenience and speed for the C examples?  If so, then one of us
should follow up with the appropriate stanzas in Makefile.am in
f77, c++, and tk.

After "make check", I tried a number of examples including x08c and x20c,
and the only one I found which fails to work is x14c.  I assume that is
related to the -dev tk problem.
