It comes from the 'make dist' mentioned above:
1. cvs co ## --> the files
2. autoreconf -i -f ## --> configure, Makefile.in's and other stuff
3. ./configure ... ## --> see below also;
## Makefile, config.status, util-vserver.spec
4. make dist ## --> util-vserver.spec, ChangeLog, the tarball
To set reasonable paths and options, you can try './build-all dist'
instead of 3. but this script is for my purposes only and documented
only by its source.

That's the kind of tests which can only be done by the developer ;) But
other work and fear of zombies stopped me to play with 'vserver ... stop'
till now...
