 2. Download the PluginsUtilites package from
    http://base.thep.lu.se/wiki/se.lu.thep.WeNNI This package is known
    to work with version 0.1 of the PluginUtilities package (only the
    latest known version will be given here). This version is the one
    automatically downloaded in the build process.

There are three states ... probably three different make distchecks are needed.

I would have one say maintainer-check that calls distcheck three times with different flags to check the three different states. The flags may be hard-coded because this is only intended for the maintainer.

Is this doable? The configure script must be run three times and I assume that we cannot trigger this from the Makefile. We could of course create a test bash script that makes all tests.

I think it is doable. Let me try and I come back to this later today.

(In [874]) refs #71

Adding some targets for maintainer to check that everything is OK in all three states. The target maintainer-check is just an aggregate of the three distcheck-* targets (that can be called independently if desired). For distcheck-base1 I hardcoded the '--with-basedir' which perhaps needs to be modified by maintainer. I'm not sure if it's possible (well read important) to set that in a less hard-coded manner, i.e., set it in configure.ac. distcheck-base2 did not work for me due to problems compiling the java code (refs #156).
