ATM the toplevel configury does not run configure in contrib/vt/vt, if that is disabled. I think that's intended. But it also means that a distribution built from such a build tree cannot be complete, i.e., contain all contribs, because their Makefiles do not exist which contain the respective dist rules. Likewise for distclean and maintainer-clean. I suppose for distclean, this could be worked around uglily (please speak up if you want me to take a shot at it), but if you want all of these to work out of the box even for --enable-contrib-no-build=vt, then you need to run configure for vt every time. Sorry 'bout that. Cheers, Ralf
