Re: no rule to make nse_bit.h

Robin,

Probably not. One of the effects of 'make distclean' is removing the
Makefile itself, so the user would have to re-run ./configure. The INSTALL
directions work for users who download the tarball. Only users who "svn up"
or "git pull" in-place will have this problem.
