Unfortunately, this doesn't work (and didn't work before I touched
CVS).  jw.1.in needs to be generated by hand, or else configure
fails. (This step seems to be done by Makefile.cvs.)

It would be nice to fix this so that we can just do a normal release
as you suggest.  Patches welcome.

Right.  It seems to be missing.  Thanks for catching that.

As I said: check out current CVS, then make -f Makefile.cvs;
./configure; make dist.

Perhaps I ought to do a pre-release after all..
