make default target /creates/ files in the source directory? But isn't this wrong and verified by making srcdir read-only in `make distcheck'? Thought it would only /update/ and only in `maintainer cases' (such as changed configure.ac). Documentation states `In fact VPATH builds are also a means of building packages from a read-only medium such as a CD-ROM' (but surely meant from a src tarball where the .info will would be included and up-to-date anyway). Wouldn't this break things (e.g. in VPATH leading to a .info in src and builddir?)? Steffen
