In glob patterns, "*" doesn't match files or directories which begin
with a dot.

Yes, keep the existing rules for Info.plist, GRASS.scpt and grass.sh. 
You're free to use $(OBJDIR) for your own targets, so long as you
ensure that it gets created and ensure that those rules get invoked
somehow.

Ah. In that case, using $(CC) is less than ideal; configure.in should
really use AC_PROG_OBJC to specifically detect an Objective-C
compiler. Similar issues exist for CFLAGS.
