General install problems

Q: ``make dist'' doesn't work. What's up with that?


A: That's because automake 1.4 doesn't like foreign variables from included makefiles, like PETSC_DM_LIB used here. For this reason, illuminator through 0.3.0 had targets mydistdir, mydist and mydistcheck in Makefile.am, use those instead of distdir, dist and distcheck. For 0.3.1 and beyond, you must use automake 1.5 or higher.
