"make dist" creates rt-tests-x.y.tar.{bz2,gz}. This entry removes them
if you do a "make maintainer-clean" (which you wanna do before checking
stuff into some rcs.

On "make distcheck" the autotools build the tarballs, extract them
again, into a temporary directory called like the package, make the
sources read only, create an out-of-tree directory, run configure there,
build and cleanup afterwards. If everything goes right, the temporary
directory is removed again. If something goes wrong, it remains there.
This entry instructs "make maintainer-clean" to make the directory
read/write again, then remove it.
This is a handy shortcut which makes sure that, after make
maintainer-clean, everything is back to the state where it can be
checked in.
