Yes, that would be crazy.  Based on this response and Julien's, I'm 
getting ready to submit initial automake support for top level 
makefile.  This will give a new target called "distcheck" which will 
test creating a package.tar.gz file and compile, install, uninstall in 
stressful ways.  For people modifying configure or Makefiles, its a 
great target to require them to get working before acceptting the patches.
