Multiple Dist- Commands Fails

[Luiji Maryo]

Hello,

I wanted to distribute all seven formats (because I like having
everything available, even if its too much), so I ran "make dist-zip
dist-shar dist-bz2 ..." for my program.  Only the first one I
specified worked, and the rest contained 0 files, or just plain
failed.  After researching the generated Makefile, I saw that each
``dist-'' command called ``distdir'', after which it would run the
utilities in a way that the directory outputted by ``distdir'' would
be deleted.  Since make will only run ``distdir`` once, the rest of
the commands have no files to work on.

My proposal is to somehow allow ``distdir'' to be called multiple
times or, alternatively, have the ``dist-'' commands not delete the
files and find out some way to delete them once all ``dist-'' commands
have completed (the former probably being easier then the later).

For now, I can just run each ``dist-'' command individually.  This is
not that hard, but it would probably be helpful to any other users
like me that produce more then one distribution at a time.

Thanks,
