 * SECURITY VULNERABILITIES!
 
-  - The recipe of the 'distcheck' no longer grants anymore temporary
-    world-wide write permissions on the extracted distdir.  Even if such
-    rights were only granted for a vanishingly small time window, the
-    implied race condition proved to be enough to allow a local attacker
-    to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running "make
-    distcheck".  This is CVE-2012-3386.
