"make dist" (and therefore "make distcheck") is
currently broken with the git HEAD. Here's an excerpt
from near the end of the output of "make check":

Texinfo.pm does not exist in the tta/swig/perl directory, and although
it is listed in Makefile.am there is no rule to build it. Rules that
are running before that are broken too, as seen by the
"I./../C/main: No such file or directory" error.
I have not installed any special support files for SWIG on my computer
and I would expect "make dist" to work without such.
$(SWIG) is set to "" after I run configure, so the rule
$(srcdir)/python/python_texinfo_wrap.c: $(srcdir)/texinfo.i
$(SWIG_header_dependencies)
$(SWIG) $(AX_SWIG_PYTHON_OPT) $(SWIG_include_directories) -outdir
$(srcdir)/python -o $@ $<
should not be running.
Please can we disable these makefile rules if SWIG support is not detected?
