On second thought, I don't think this is a good idea.  Looks like the
BSDs use ".sinclude" for silent inclusion, and older systems don't even
support that.

If no better plan is forthcoming that can simultaneously cope with
ARG_MAX limitations and cross-Unix incompatibilities, I think it's
better to revert Makefile.in to the "ELCFILES abomination".  We can live
with it for a while longer.
