I have done it.  At first I was thinking, it was necessary
because "make dist" was including everything CVS directory included
from the examples directory.
Somebody has put examples in EXTRA_DIST, do not do that.

I have to reread the documentation.  Since we are doing more relinking
because of "make check".  configure utility will be better with
--disable-fast-install by default.  Or force relinking at install time.
