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.
