But how will this going to help? configh.in does not define VERSION
etc., it's the job of the configure script.
I can produce a Sed script that will edit some of the #undef's into
#define's, but I cannot do anything with VERSION and other
version-related strings in the header. That should be something that
make-dist itself should do, because only it knows the version of the
tarball.
