DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory. For PR automake/533: When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir) need to be made writable recursively. Since file modes should not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'. * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation. * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases. * NEWS: Update.
