I'd guess that nodit_test_SOURCES = test.c is wrong, because of this:
"You should never explicitly mention the intermediate (C or C++) file
in any SOURCES variable; only list the source file."
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Yacc-and-Lex.html
I changed Makefile.am to
check_PROGRAMS = test
nodist_test_SOURCES = test.l
#nodist_test_SOURCES = test.c
then after "make dist":
$tar tf basketcase-0.0.1.tar.gz
basketcase-0.0.1/
basketcase-0.0.1/Makefile.in
basketcase-0.0.1/aclocal.m4
basketcase-0.0.1/configure
basketcase-0.0.1/Makefile.am
basketcase-0.0.1/configure.ac
basketcase-0.0.1/build-aux/
basketcase-0.0.1/build-aux/depcomp
basketcase-0.0.1/build-aux/install-sh
basketcase-0.0.1/build-aux/missing
basketcase-0.0.1/build-aux/ylwrap
basketcase-0.0.1/build-aux/compile
I guess that's not what you want, because test.l isn't distributed there.
Following Nick's suggestion to use dist-hook, the following appeared
to give good results:
check_PROGRAMS = test
test_SOURCES = test.l
dist-hook:
rm -f ${distdir}/test.c
With that, test.l is distributed but test.c isn't.
