Redundant AC_LIBSOURCES calls

Hello,

I propose the patch attached below; an explanation follows:

I think that when AC_LIBOBJ and friends was designed, the idea was
to use
        some testing
        if foo_is_broken; then
                AC_LIBOBJ([foo])
        fi

The AC_LISOURCE/AC_LIBSOURCES macros were also made visible, so that
the user can name additional sources, when necessary.

Actually, gnulib needs foo.h in most cases, because the module fixes
also a broken declaration, not only broken implementation.

But in the basic case, when only the implementation is fixed and no
header is needed, I see no advantage in adding a redundant call to
AC_LIBSOURCES.

Have a nice day,
        Stepan Kasal
