ax_extra_dist

Allow support for custom dist targets.

To add custom dist targets, you must create a dist-<TYPE> target within your Makefile.am, where <TYPE> is the name of the dist and then add <TYPE> to EXTRA_SRC_DISTS or EXTRA_BIN_DISTS. For example:

   dist-foobar:
        <rules for making the foobar dist>

   EXTRA_BIN_DISTS += foobar

You can then build all the src dist targets by running:

   make dist-src

You can build all the binary dist targets by running:

   make dist-bin

and you can build both the src and dist targets by running:

   make all-dist
