Hello,

I was confused by the fact that things in DIST_SUBDIRS
are not meant to be built nor installed, but that still
some files are built, namely the files needing some 
special tools to be built. I made a patch for the 
documentation. Maybe this should also be more explicit
in the coding standards, such that this is done for 
everything and not only automake generated rules and gettext
files.

If you really want a ChangeLog entry, (but you can omit
it if you like), it could be along

State that in DIST_SUBDIRS (in make dist) files that need 
special tools to be generated (info manual, yacc generated 
files) will be built.
