The purpose of this is to prevent situations where somebody creates a dist 
tarball from a dirty tree only to not have the changes reflected in the created 
tarball. This would be confusing and error-prone behavior.

That sounds reasonable, but would not at all be in line with our current 
convention.

Dropping this for now.

Great suggestion on the temp dir (I had modelled this after autotools' `make 
distcheck` always using a fixed output directory in the build directory; now 
that I think about that I am not sure that was ever useful to me and not just 
an opportunity for name collisions in a dirty tree). Went with `WORKDIR` as var 
name.

TBH, I cannot, but this is a general feature of our cmake setup (I suspect it 
has to do with aspects like generated files).

Dropping.

`nproc` is part of coreutils which we also assume elsewhere.
