This plan sounds fine to me personally, so long as you provide a
compatibility definition for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED until the next branch.
(obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED defined and matching
[Yy][Ee][Ss] should suffice; if it's undef or any other value,
USE_ABI_DEPENDS can take over).

The diffis too big to browse intelligently by me right now, so I trust your
judgment that the above changes were done right.  :)

And the sf.net CVS servers have been up and down for a while due to major
disk failures.  Once it's back up, I'm sure this change will be just the
same to apply across wip as well.
