I think it's about time we introduce an API that will allow maintainers
to easily plug-in their own compressor :-)  Implementing that shouldn't
be too difficult, given the similarity and duplication among the various
`dist-*' targets.  The slightly trickier part will be devising an API
that is complete and simple enough.  I'm CC:ing bug-automake so that we
won't forget about the issue.

Regards,
  Stefano
