I'm using autoconf-2.61; automake-1.10; libtool-1.5.23a

It's installed when I do 'make install', but it isn't packaged with make 
dist (I'm doing this via VPATH). I just reconfirmed it on Cygwin after 
modifying EXTRA_DIST and doing 'autoreconf'.

Then I did a tar -tzf mylib.tar.gz and it showed only the elements in 
$(man_MANS).

A known bug maybe? For now I'll leave it in.

Cheers,
Jason.
