Build problem: g-wrap run before configure

If you make a change to Makefile.am in the G-wrap section of
a makefile and then try to rebuild, it will fail.  The reason
is that the ordering is such that automake is run first, then
g-wrap is run, and _THEN_ it tries to run config.status to
rebuild the Makefile.

This ordering just seems wrong.  In particular, it's a problem
when you are trying to adjust the g-wrap rules.

The current workaround is to run configure (or config.status) by hand,
but that's a pain in the butt.  The dependencies should get corrected
to autogen the Makefile properly.
