How do I stop some recursive SUBDIR tests for "make distcheck"?

[Harlan Stenn]

So I've been doing some digging and I don't see how to work around this
problem.

automake-1.5 will not let me override RECURSIVE-TARGETS.

I've added empty rulesets for:

 dvi:
 dvi-am:
 dvi-recursive:

and distcheck is *still* trying to do a "make dvi" in the SUBDIR.

Ideas?

In the fragment below, perl-modules/ has a Makefile generated via automake,
but the Makefile in PIKT-Random has one generated for a perl module, which
has no dvi rules (and I'd prefer to avoid adding extra rules just to get the 
distcheck target to work).
