bizarre.

# That doesn't solve the problem of having `make' try to create
# manual pages before the commands have been built, for example
# with automake-1.11.1, `make distcheck' in a freshly checked out
# and configured tree will fail. The workaround is to make sure
# `make check' is always called first:
distcheck: all
