I think the issue is that "source-check" and "external-deps" needs
special treatment in autotools so that the
WGET commands is executed regardless if the target package
is present in DL_DIR or not.

The WGET commands has been redefined to do WGET --spider
or to run a script and neither of these will actually
download the tarballs.

What I question is the use of the MAKELEVEL
variable to determine if this special treatment
should be activated or not.

Not if you want your log file to have the
same name as your project.

Try typing
"make > atngw100-expanded-3.log 2>&1"
a couple of times, and you see what I mean.

"make log" is so much easier, and you can
use bash to just do "make log" by just pressing up-arrow <CR/LF>.
