Do you do this? I wouldn't expect `make dist' to work in subdir
projects configured this way.
So far, my impression is that the only way to allow subdir `make
dist' is to duplicate the aux files in all subprojects. (This
also means adding AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(.) to projects not already
using AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.)
This of course assumes that one wants to allow `make dist' in
sub projects, which I guess is not always true. Yet if anyone
has some experience to share on this topic I'm interested.
