This seems to cover the cases > correctly, in my view. I have added a 'gimp-dist' target to the root Makefile.am. This does a 'make dist' but then removes all the unwanted cruft from distdir before packaging. Once I've brushed up on my sed, it should parse configure.in, Makefile.am, src/Makefile.am and man/Makefile.am to make a distribution that can be dropped into the GIMP tree and just work. This requires a modification to the GIMP configure.in: AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(plug-ins/print) in order to run our configure with the root configure's cache. It's possible to merge all the functionality into the GIMP configure.in, but it's simpler and cleaner to keep them separate. configure now checks if it's in the GIMP tree, and makes library building conditional if this is the case. I've not made print link statically yet, as I'm not sure of the cleanest way of implementing it (I want to be able to still dynamically link if I choose). Checking for e.g. the presence of the debian directory is not a solution as it's part of GIMP CVS.
