Provide end users with a workaround if they find code doesn't build with

Should --enable-selective-werror be forcibly enabled for distchecking via
DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS ?

This option is enabled by default, so it is applied at distcheck time, even if the module was configured with --disable-selective-werror at the time when 'make distcheck' was invoked.

Now that you mention it, if those who need --disable-selective-werror because they are "stuck" otherwise will not be able to run distcheck. That makes me wonder if this option will be on any use for those who cannot build without it in the first place. This was the motivation to create this option to begin with. Hmmm...
