To quote the automake manual:

The user can still extend or override the flags provided there by defining the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable, on the command line when invoking make.


so we probably should have the configure-script code that chooses which GUI toolkits to use (if any) set AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS.  I'll look at doing that.
