 # Load the cli module but only if it's available. This way a distribution
 # that includes pre-generated files can be built without installing cli.
+# This is also the reason why we need to explicitly spell out individual
+# source file prerequisites instead of using the cli.cxx{} group (it won't
+# be there unless the module is configured).
