The way that EXTRA_DIST honors Automake conditionals is, in my
opinion, surprising.  In some of my own projects, I've just added
        noinst_HEADERS += $(EXTRA_DIST)
outside any Automake conditional to fix that.  When you do that,
any file mentioned in EXTRA_DIST is always distributed,
regardless of conditionals.
