I don't use the make dist/distcheck stuff when I do releases, so not 
having that isn't a big deal to me right now.

I'm more concerned on impact to the test infrastructure (Dejagnu). Any 
change to that has support all the features that we have currently and not 
break the nightly tester. But that seems like a separate issue from the 
build system stuff.. just happened to be brought up in the same thread.
