automake and etags

[Jens Zurheide]

Hi!

I once nailed this problem down. I could resolve it by modifying one file in 
the admin directory (I posted the patch a loong time ago to this list and 
might not have it any more but I did not look so far).  

Another way to solve this is to remove the TAGS file before building the 
distribution file. It might be necessary to perform an autoconf/automake 
step before building the distribution file. As far as I remember the 
autoconf/automake stuff picks up the TAGS file and generates a make-rule 
and the TAGS file somehow gets into the list of distribution files, thus 
the autoconf/automake step after removing the file.

Hope that helps without rebuilding ctags...
