I'm not a fan of $(wildcard). It makes your tarball creation
non-deterministic - if there is a leftover file from development that is
no longer part of the build, wildcard will still pick it up.  Explicit
lists are better.  I'm inclined to NACK this, but Markus has final say
since he maintains the qapi generator.
