travis: Update travis to do a make distcheck instead of just make check (#46)

* travis: Do a `make distcheck` instead of just `make check`

Doing a `make distcheck` instead of just a `make check` ensures that
the build system is sane and that the results from `make dist` have
everything needed.

* build-system: Fixes for `make distcheck`

This commit fixes the `distcheck` target by addressing the following
issues:

 *  Repaired ability to perform builds when the build directory is not
    the source directory.
 *  Addressed an issue with the tarball name that occurs the very
    first time `make` is run.
