running from the branch isn't enough. he must run from the last release
tarball to be sure he has exactly the same as other users. If there need to
be a fix in EFL before next alpha, he must firstly release new EFL snapshot
or release, then get E17 on top of that.

this is the only way to assure users will be able to compile. I'm being
picky here because we're at alpha4 already, very close to end and these
kind of things were not expected to happen. But you know, the default theme
is far from complete and thus the development may introduce some
breakages... then I recommend you, the theme maker, to also run the same
setup.

as for make distcheck, I have no idea... likely he did not run it? How is
the alpha release procedure going on? Just make distcheck and it's gold?
Asking more folks at #edevelop to give it a try to tarballs before doing
the announcement? Testing with some pristine VM running standard distros
(fedora and ubunut)?
