I've added rules for these and checked that they work in out-of-source
builds, and with make distcheck. I recently untracked the pdf files in
git and evidently this has led to this problem. The better fix would
probably be to use a Makefile.am file under doc/refcard, or to
incorporate the rules from doc/refcard/Makefile into doc/refcard/Makefile.am.
