Is there some way to wire this check up into the 'dist-hook' rule?
Automake runs that after the distribution directory is filled, but
before the archive is created.  If we can get it to work, that would
be a lot easier than having to remember to run a separate rule after
'make dist'.

Automake also provides the 'make dist-check' rule, which would catch
things like this, except that 'dist-check' ALSO tests that a VPATH
build works, and we've not yet had success at fully porting our code
base to be VPATH-friendly (bash completion and ocaml builds were the
two that gave me the most grief last time I tried, but there may be
others).
