( cd etc ; make distribution )

"make build" is relatively safe to run without setting DESTDIR - it
won't overwrite any existing config files.  Here's part of my crib sheet
for doing a full build and release set (note csh syntax!):

	cd /.../src
	setenv DESTDIR /.../destdir
	setenv RELEASEDIR /.../releasedir
	make build | & tee $DESTDIR/../blog.00
	cd etc
	make distribution INSTALL_DONE=1 |& tee $DESTDIR/../distlog.00
	cd ../distrib/sets
	sh maketars |& tee $DESTDIR/../setlog.00

After this, you'll end up with the binary sets in $RELEASEDIR.
