+       For PR automake/533:
+       DISTFILES containing a directory and files in that directory.
+       When the source tree contains non-writable files or directories
+       (as happens during distcheck), and directories or entries
+       thereof are listed multiple times in variables to be
+       distributed, then the corresponding directories below $(distdir)
+       need to be made writable recursively.  Since file modes should
+       not change, they need to be copied recursively using `cp -f'.
+       * lib/am/distdir.am: Handle this situation.
+       * tests/distdir.test: Extend test to those cases.
+       * NEWS: Update.
+       Report by Peter Breitenlohner.
