When both a .in.h and .h file exist, only distribute the .in.h file (the
gnulib automake snippets already do this for you, with no extra effort
needed on your part).  The generated files fall in the same category as
config.h - distributing what worked on your system is wrong, because the
final generated file depends on configure results which are machine-specific.
