True. I didn't think of that. This is just the most common use case, I
guess. My main intention behind this was to provide an easy and
consistent way of producing snapshot and release distributions.
Theoretically, you can edit the value of TMP_DIST_DIR in the Makefile to
change the directory, too.

Actually, the mkdir command fails and the process stops with an error,
if the directory already exists. I tested this before I added the
DEL_TREE command.

Perhaps it should be added to `distclean'?
