But then, with a more "realistic" biggish tree (that can be produced using the
attached script), I see the following timings:

  $ make -n distdir           # 10 times
  pre-series:   43.2 seconds
  post-series:  44.1 seconds

  $ make all                  # 30 times
  pre-series:   24.9 seconds
  post-series:  25.2 seconds

  $ make distdir              # 3 times
  pre-series:   ~ 3 minutes
  post-series:  ~ 2 minutes 30 seconds

So I say this patch is good to go.

  Stefano
