Yes it is, and I caught a bunch of crazy dependancies when I fixed this
up, but now the build should be so much easier for those of us working
on the serial code, the whole tree will now not have to rebuild for no
reason at all.

Sorry for missing this one, the fix looks correct to me, I'll queue it
up in my tree, or it can go through David's.
