Comment (by eschnett):

 It is somewhat difficult to allow no configuration.ccl file in the flesh.
 One needs to write a makefile rule that detects if a configuration.ccl is
 there and wasn't before, or if it is there and has changed, or if it is
 not there and more but used to be there, but doesn't complain if it is
 missing. Makefiles aren't designed for this; if a dependency is missing,
 this usually leads to an error.

 Cactus introduces a special logic for this, explicitly keeping track of
 which thorns have a configuration.ccl file and which don't, and since the
 flesh and the thorns are treated somewhat differently we would have to
 duplicate this logic for the flesh. I don't think it's worth the effort.
