Automake also generates a distcheck target which can be of help
to ensure that a given distribution will actually work.
distcheck makes a distribution, and then tries to do a
VPATH build.
If the target distcheck-hook is defined in your
`Makefile.am', then it will be invoked by distcheck after
the new distribution has been unpacked, but before the unpacked copy is
configured and built. Your distcheck-hook can do almost
anything, though as always caution is advised. Generally this hook is
used to check for potential distribution errors not caught by the
standard mechanism.
