The "dist" target in octMakefile within octave is nearly 40 lines long.
It looks like it does much of the work itself rather than handing things
off to the subdirectories. I don't think this is an option in octave-forg=
e.

The only problem is the need of the variables defined in Makeconf for
something that needs to be built for the dist target. This hopefully
shouldn't come up that often. The fix I have if pretty generic. The
tests for the args of TEXINFO etc are perhaps the only place things
might cause a problem (if you have the tools installed that this). These
tests were more my paranoia than anything, so the effect disabling of=20
these for the dist target in main/comm and main/fixed is probably not
an issue.
