With that fixed, and this additional patch, make distcheck works again
when TESTSUITEFLAGS is set to avoid the failing defn test (and on cygwin,
when PATH is set to workaround a libtool issue:
http://www.nabble.com/cygwin-convenience-library--dlpreopen-installation-tf2239271.html#a6210568;
more discussion on that on the libtool list).

        * bootstrap: Kill unrelated copy-n-paste code from argument
        parsing.  Let Makefile generate testsuite.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove examples/WWW/man/Makefile.
