A "top level" Makefile.in might actually be called from a higher
directory.  Suppose I take a complete auto*-using package and make it
a subdir of another package.

This might affect this code.  I don't remember.  But we have to be
sure that this change doesn't cause problems in this scenario.

If it does cause problems (I haven't looked) then one solution would
be to introduce an intermediate target:

    dist: _am-dist-intermediate
    _am-dist-intermediate: distdir
	find ...

Could you look at this first?
If there are no problems then go ahead and commit it.
