The following is how I intended to fix this. I'm not sure
it's what you want. Anyway the patch below won't apply since
it predates Akim's sourcequake; I have yet to figure where the
relevent passage has been moved :)

* automake.in (handle_dist_worker): When building the distdir,
copy files from the build directory in preference to the source
directory; that way the distribution is always built from the
latest version of generated files.
