I've just looked into the failure of test pr19.
The distdir rules copying these four files (in the $(DISTFILES) list)
from ../:
depcomp
install-sh
missing
mkinstalldirs
Of course, those files aren't removed by `make distclean', and hence the
`find...|wc' in the distcheck rules counts four files rather than the
expected `0'. Since I haven't even looked to see what pr#19 is about,
there's a good chance this patch just papers over a larger problem...
