Do you mean:

dist_check_SCRIPTS = test/runtest
TESTS = $(dist_check_SCRIPTS)

You still need two lines, one to run the test and one to dist the 
script.  I think TESTS and EXTRA_DIST is a slightly better combination, 
only because EXTRA_DIST may be used for other files in the future. 
Otherwise I see no difference.
