Thanks Steve.  Just to avoid confusion on the list, Steve agreed to
just use 'make dist' and to parse the output for the tarfile name, so
we don't end up with a .distversion file in an actual git tree, and not
to add more build targets for special cases. 

Therefore we won't proceed with this patch.
