BUILT_SOURCES aren't automatically distributed.

With the cvs automake you have a lot more control over what is
distributed than you used to.  Unfortunately this isn't documented :-(

You can do something like this:

    bin_PROGRAMS = foo
    dist_foo_SOURCES = sources for foo that should dist
    nodist_foo_SOURCES = sources for foo that shouldn't dist

If you leave off dist/nodist then you get whatever the default is for
the particular variable (it depends on the variable, for backwards
compatibility).
