autofoo is too nasty to you if you try to 'make' in a tree with unsaved changes in emacs

[Stewart Smith]

<stewart> mtaylor, can you please fix the makefile stuff when there's an emacs autosave file present... for example, say, i have unsaved changes in emacs and type 'make'.
 kthxbie :)
 i can haz pony too?
<mtaylor> stewart: what?
 stewart: I have 0 idea what you want...
<stewart> mtaylor, edit file in emacs. don't save it. type 'make'. it then rewrites the makefile to be invalid
<mtaylor> stewart: and yes - I can fix it once I understsand it
<stewart> putting the #foo.c# thing in as a target
 which is invalid make
 Makefile:13491: *** missing separator. Stop.
<mtaylor> stewart: is it re-running automake at that point?
<stewart> plugin/embedded_innodb/.#embedded_innodb_engine.cc.linted: plugin/embedded_innodb/.#embedded_innodb_engine.cc
 mtaylor, yes.
<mtaylor> ah. ok.
<stewart> from Makefile:13491 "plugin/embedded_innodb/.#embedded_innodb_engine.cc.linted: plugin/embedded_innodb/.#embedded_innodb_engine.cc
 "
<mtaylor> that's a flaw in lifeless's code... but I'll fix it :)
<stewart> mtaylor, which i have to manually delete from the makefile to then allow automake to regenerate a correct makefile.
<mtaylor> stewart: can you file a bug? I'm about to leave for a bit and I will forget by the time I get back

I want to get this done... but it's slightlly below some other priorities.

Maybe hint that for emacs users

(setq auto-save-directory "..../.autosaves")

in their init files is a good idea?
