The output of 'make dist' has become more and more cluttered.
I am thinking of two choices to clean it up:
- either post all commands, i.e., each cp and all,
- or just post basically one line per directory,
- or post nothing.
The patch below goes the second way. I've pushed it now, but I'd
appreciate comments, thoughts, and suggestions?
Thanks,
Ralf
Nicer 'make dist' output.

used for computing the relative subdirs; echo the sub-make
command.
