Yes, "make dist" is a nice feature.

Yes, something is wrong with the top-level Makefile.in in
pcsc-lite-0.9.1.  But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the
Makefile.am (although it needs some cleanup).  If I run the ./reconf
script the generated Makefile.in is fine, and make dist and make
distcheck works fine.  The resulting tar ball is just as it should be.

I am using automake 1.4 and autoconf 2.13 (as distributed in Debian
2.2).
