Hi Noah,

On FreeBSD 9.0 `gmake distcheck`* fails with:

    ...
    ./test/javascript/run
    make: don't know how to make w. Stop
    gmake[1]: *** [check-js] Error 2
    gmake[1]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/home/jan/src/couchdb/apache-couchdb-1.3.0a-4e1bf75-git/_build'
    gmake: *** [distcheck] Error 1

I can verify that manual execution of `gmake check` works just fine. My guess 
would point at an invocation of make as `make` instead of $(MAKE) somewhere in 
the distcheck bowels. A cursory look didn’t reveal anything obvious, so I hoped 
you can shed a light on this.

Thanks!
Jan
