dist-all is not enough for my lazy fingers :)  
I never run `make dist': I always do `make distcheck' instead.
However `make distcheck' will only produce a tar.gz.

Would you agree with a patch that add a `distcheck-all' rule?

In fact, I don't really like this idea...  I think that dist-all
should not exists, and instead `make dist' should output a
distribution in all the formats requested by the maintainer (on
the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS line). `make distcheck' would also output
all formats, of course.  Does it make sense?
