Description

Currently there is no support for files whose path names are more than 99 characters long.

THerefore make dist of dune-localfunctions fails to incorporate some files:

tar: dune-localfunctions-0.1/dune/finiteelements/rannacher_turek2d/rannacher_turek2dlocalinterpolation.hh: Dateiname ist zu lang (max. 99); nicht gesichert. tar: Fehler beim Beenden, verursacht durch vorhergehende Fehler.

Either we do not use such long path names any more or we choose not to use the most restrictive tar mode by setting AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = tar-pax (and might fail on some platforms)

Opinions?
