        Hi,
CMake doesn't "support" it by default, but I have there custom targets
named "dist", "distcheck" and "disttest", the same as "check". Note
that the 'dist*' targets create the tarball from a git clone first,
thus it won't work with the tarball sources. It didn't work well with
the autotools too, I think, where you better build the sources and run
'make check' only.
        Bye,
        Milan
