I don't know _why_ "make distcheck" works differently after "make maintainer-clean" than after "make distclean". I also don't know _why_ "make distcheck" works differently in a VPATH build than from the source directory. It's the first time I see this. In the few other packages that I use to work with, I never saw such subtle differences. Bruno
