But how do you write you dist target? How come it ends in the
tarball!?!

To who? Automake + autoconf + autoheader + autoscan + autoreconf +
autom4te + autoupdate ?

It is much work. For a start, if you remove the cache, there is no

it, and finally removes it?

This is because we created it *before* you can notice how useful it
