You have

# Manually add these things to distribution package when dist target is run...
EXTRA_DIST =
Authors         \
Copying         \
Install         \
News            \
ReadMe          \
    Tests           \
ToDo

(Sorry, the whitespace is being mangled somehow when I copy and paste.)

I believe you should have a backslash ("\") at the end of the first
line, or otherwise move the "Authors" line up to be on the first line.
