Reid,

First, thanks for the excellent overview. This seems like it will be very 
useful.

I have a question about dist-check.

You mention that it will triple the amount of disk space I am using. I am 
guessing its because it does the following:
>    11. runs make dist
>    12. runs make clean
>    13. runs make dist-clean

It it necessary for dist-check to run make dist? Why would we want to make 
sure that our distribution can create a distribution? If this is not 
really necessarily, that would cut down the amount of disk space used.. 
correct?
