Bug 765429 said that not having a time estimate can be annoying
when working with large pulls.
There isn't any complex time estimation logic here - we just take
the number of bytes remaining and do a linear projection of
the bytes per second rate at the current point in time.

Since automake 1.11.2 it is recommended that packages
use AM_DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS instead of
DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS as the latter is intended
to be a user variable.
