(kinda silly replying to myself, but still...)

OK.  Apparently I misunderstood something, and this got cleared up on
IRC.  I was on the assumption that the entire build process was being
done in the source tree (like I normally do *cough*), in which case, the
Makefiles do get modified.  Now I realize Kent meant, with the different
build tree thing, that running bootstrap creates the Makefile.in in the
source tree, and then running ../blender/configure creates the Makefiles
in the build tree, leaving the original NaN makefiles unmolested.
