Thanks.

I still, however, seem to have a problem with make dist creating files in
one place and looking for them in another.  Have you tried to make dist in a
a build dir that's not srcdir?  Is it working for you when you start from a
clean just-checked-out repository?

autoconf_build_dir$ make dist
chmod -R a+w autoconf-2.14a > /dev/null 2>&1; rm -rf autoconf-2.14a
mkdir autoconf-2.14a
cp: ../../autoconf/INSTALL.txt: No such file or directory
make: *** [distdir] Error 1

$ ls -l INSTALL.txt 
-rw-r--r--   1 ezk      gnu          8569 Apr  2 03:18 INSTALL.txt

# do the ugly temp hack
$ touch ../../autoconf/INSTALL.txt

autoconf_build_dir$ make dist
...
cp: ../../../autoconf/tests/macros.m4: No such file or directory
...
