Can you be more specific about which tools
are causing the problem?  So many tools are
involved...

I am done some work towards cleaning up
Makefile.cvs and adding a smart cvs-dist target
to Makefile.am.  Stay tuned as well.

It works for me, but then again my system is
not a latest one:

   GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release
   automake (GNU automake) 1.7.8
   autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
   GNU Make version 3.79.1
   xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.12.1
   GNU find version 4.1.7
   tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
   gzip 1.3.3
   bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor.  Version 1.0.2, 30-Dec-2001.

Hmmm, there's that capital/lowercase name issue
all over the place again.  :-)
