But using it, and hard-coding it in Makefile.am are two different
things. Even then, you, the user of Erik's package, can
make distcheck DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS=
OTOH, Erik could also put this in his Makefile.am:
my-distcheck:
$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS=--enable-gcc-werror

Which is one reason I'm hesitating to enable the option dist-lzma for
the Automake package itself.
