Hmm. When I do a "make dist" in the current hello CVS, the getopt.m4
file is also not distributed. Which makes me think the problem is not
in gnulib/lib/Makefile.am but elsewhere... And in fact your
gnulib/m4/gnulib-cache.m4 does not list the 'getopt' module. Running
    $GNULIB_TOOL --import getopt
fixed it for me.
