Simplicity.
aaa_SOURCES = foo.x
is much more easy to handle than this one
BUILT_SOURCES = foo.cc foo.h
nodist_aaa_SOURCES = foo.cc foo.h
EXTRA_DIST = foo.x
Another reason is that it appears correktly in the Automake-Manager menu in
the IDE kdevelop.

From one of the rules ".x.cc:" or "%.cc %.h: %.x"
