It might be a bit extra work, but it would be good to take the source.tar.gz
files that cmake creates, unpack them in a new directory and just make sure
we can do a clean build from them. This always seems to expose a file or
two, or a header that someone forgot to add to the automake.am so it never
got included in the source distribution. (i.e. you could build from git
just fine, but things were missing in the source distribution.) These are
usually easy to fix, but it's good to catch them earlier rather than later.
Thanks,
Curt.
