OK. I committed my changes. On initial checkout call ./autogen.bash As for your distro-making script, you could greatly simplify it by adding make dist call in there. Alternatively, good practice is to create automated tests, and use distcheck target - it makes distribution, then unpacks it, builds, and runs make check This way you have at least minimal qa before release.
