i looked into it. distcheck make empty source/_build directory and then try to run ../configure --src=.. && make from there. hahaha. i guess that make our sources able to compile from '../' directory will take lot of time without any reasonable output. after all we always do make && make install from complete tarball so i dont see any reason why to bother about distcheck. pavel
