how are release tarballs created ?  seems like there's an error in the
process as the dmapi-2.2.9 contains files it shouldnt.  for example,
autom4te.cache/, include/builddefs, etc...

in a similar vain, every xfsdump/xfsprogs release has made people run
`autoconf` first as the configure script is considered part of the
distclean target in general.  i dont think that makes any sense as the
configure script should be included with every release tarball.

so how are release tarballs made ?  i dont see a "dist" target or anything ...
