OK, I just did that.  I've had my coffee and enough sleep, and now I know
something's up.  

"make dist" on my machine, even ensuring I'm using Gnu make, creates a
tarball whose src/odbc directory is empty except for a unittests directory
and a zero-length Makefile.  

I agree with Frediano that "make dist" ought to be how distributions are
made.  I realize that's radical and everything, but, you know, we've all got
our convictions.  

I'll allow that it may be the case that NetBSD won't "make dist" correctly,
but I don't file that under Good Thing.  I'm going to look into
autogen.sh....
