FIX for distcheck-hook problem (automake 1.4-p1)

[Steve M. Robbins]

Hi,

I tried the new automake 1.4-p1 and discovered a bug.  If a distcheck-hook
is defined, part of the distcheck rule looks like

        ...
        mkdir $(distdir)/=build
        mkdir $(distdir)/=inst
        dc_install_base=`cd $(distdir)/=inst && pwd`; \ $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) 
distcheck-hook
        ...

And make balks at this line.  The fix (below) is to put the "$(MAKE)
... distcheck-hook" on a separate line.  And put a semicolon after it!

-Steve

P.S.  I have no clue if this affects automake CVS.  But a 1.4-p2 would
be appreciated!

        * automake.in (handle_dist): Fix makefile fragment emitted when a
        distcheck-hook is defined.
