A lot. I added that section as a result of what I did learn when porting gnome-utils to gnome-doc-utils; at the moment of the porting, if I did not include the macro directory in the EXTRA_DIST, make distcheck would fail (I did various checks and the only change that affected the outcome of distcheck was that). Lately, I was able to pass the distcheck phase even when the m4 directory was not inside the EXTRA_DIST variable - so I think that porting my build environment to automake >= 1.7 did the trick. I think it's safe to assume that yes: that bit is wrong when using an automake < 1.7; I'd like people with older versions of automake to test that bit and see if it was just a screw up in my build environment.
