Hi Ralf,

Andy already answered most of your questions, I think.

In a typical project, 90% of the .scm files are hand-written, and 10%
are not (generated by AC_CONFIG_FILES, for instance.)  The hand-written
source files must of course be distributed.

So I think it makes sense to have ‘dist_’ be the default.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
