Hello,
it looks like it's impossible to dist or distcheck automake after a
fresh checkout, one has to run make all first.
mkdir automake && cd automake
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/automake co .
cd automake
mkdir _build && cd _build
../configure
make distcheck
[...]
make[1]: Entering directory
`/Users/tsuna/svn/cvs/automake/automake/_build/doc'
PATH="`pwd`/../tests:$PATH" && \
export PATH && \
cd ../../doc/amhello && \
ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.10a AUTOMAKE=automake-1.10a \
autoreconf -vfi && \
./configure && \
make distcheck && \
make distclean && \
rm -rf aclocal.m4 autom4te.cache Makefile.in config.h.in
configure depcomp install-sh missing src/Makefile.in && \
mv amhello-1.0.tar.gz ..

I attempted to fix this minor inconvenience but ended up with strange
problems with amhello which would be distributed in doc.tar.gz instead
of amhello-
VERSION.tar.gz and finally gave up (lack of time).
