At the moment, `make distcheck` is broken. It seems that Automake's Vala support does not work well with VPATH builds for non-recursive build systems: generated C files are left in the top level directory for reasons I don't understand.

Since no new release has been needed for nearly 4 years, and there have been no significant code changes or new bug reports since then, I'm not going to put energy into fixing this now.

Also, `make dist` still works fine, so a release can be made quickly if needed.

Finally, it would be best to determine exactly what the problem with Automake's Vala support is, and fix that.

But otherwise, we could revert to a non-recursive build system (like all the other Autotools build systems I maintain).
