Currently, the main Makefile.am is built at automake time to Makefile.in by reading all of its Makefile_insert files from the various subdirectories. The final 'inkscape' target is made as the result of libinkpre.a, all of the sub-libraries from each of the Makefile_inserts, then libinkpost.a. This is because of link-order problems.
Not that I disagree with the effort, but I thought that one reason that at least some of these were broken up was for inkview. That way inkview didn't have to include everything. I don't know how true that is today though.
