There can be subtle differences between what you get on a cvs checkout or
update versus what you get from "make dist" and the resulting tarball.
"make dist" only knows about what is referenced in the Makefile.am's ... so
it's possible to add a .h file (for instance) to cvs or a new directory
without providing the proper references in in the Makefile.am files and the
files will be there in cvs, but not in make dist ... it seems like I often
catch a couple of these for each new release. I'm not horrified though
since there are a lot of subtleties in the automake/autoconf system that I
wouldn't expect every developer to fully understand.

I have a problem building a dependency against some development version of a
library which is only available from cvs (note the mess that openal can
often be on many platforms)
OSG is a little bit better in that there is a real tarball with a real
version we can download and build against ... even if it's not an official
stable release.

Curt.
