 Currently we compile some .cc files multiple times, once for a main
 target (such as b10-auth), and in other cases for tests and
 benchmarks.  The additional compilation is simply redundant and
 (though maybe relatively marginal) contribute to increasing the
 already large build time of BIND 10.

 I propose we use the "convenience library" feature of automake to avoid
 the duplicate compilation.  See this link for convenience libraries:
 http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_92.html

 (At least in theory) this should be a beneficial (and mostly trivial)
 change at no risk of regression.

 Both b10-auth and b10-recurse should be able to benefit from this, and
 there may be some others.
