The problem is that I do not know autotools good enough to tell the
upstream author what's wrong with his autotools configuration.
What I've found out so far is that a tarfile produced by 'make dist'
is much cleaner than the original source from upstream. Unfortunately
this would break the subdir /converter (containing vmo2wav, not
included in the package). I investigated this further and found out
that the missing pieces (after 'make dist') will be included if I add
all *.h and COPYRIGHT in converter/Makefile.am to the variable
vmo2wav_SOURCES, then run 'automake' and 'make dist'.
After that the new tarfile does not include these files, and that's
what we want, isn't it.
