Something like
        cvs co -r DIA_0_90 dia

That's very true. It is valuable to know that there are "make dist"
problems; however, it is important as well to know that the problem is in
the dist part of the makefiles, as opposed to the simple "build" part.

I noticed mat's comment on automake1.5; also, I noticed that sid includes
automake1.5 and automake 1.6. 

Lars: we have to decide something:
        - we figure out how the old app/Makefile.am did to have a
        conditional gnome-print renderer without tripping up "make dist"

        or

        - we include libxslt unconditionally
        
        or 
        
        - we mandate automake 1.5 or more.

I'll try to find the time to read up on which benefits 1.6 brings over 1.5
(1.5 brings "make uninstall" over 1.4 among other things).
