Running this manually, still didn't create the file.  But it did
eventually work, see below.

This has in fact fixed everything.  Thanks by the way.  However, it does
seem a little inadequate since I still need to build the list inside of
configure.ac so that I can AC_SUBST a variable for the dist directories.
 Note that all I've been working on is dist and nothing about the actual
build yet.

However, I think it may make more sense to dump everything into the
output_list.m4 file during the bootstrap and then I don't have to worry
about a second call inside of configure.ac.

All in all, everything does seem to be working now, which is very cool,
and thanks for the help.
