what happens to EXTRA_DIST during distcheck?

[Ed Hartnett]

Howdy all!

In my top level makefile I have an EXTRA_DIST:

# These files get added to the distribution.
EXTRA_DIST = README COPYRIGHT RELEASE_NOTES 

But looking at the _build directory created during make distcheck, I
do not see any of these files:

  /shecky/netcdf-3/netcdf-4.0-alpha11/_build:

Am I missing something here?

Thanks!

Ed
