suggested fix for "make installcheck"

[Steve M. Robbins]

Hi,

There is a (recently added?) check for files remaining after "make
install / make uninstall".  Unfortunately, there is no error message
given if this check fails.  Enclosed is a patch to rectify this.

Regards,
-Steve

        * lib/am/distdir.am (distcheck): Emit diagnostic when files
        remain after "make uninstall".
