The problem is that you define the internal variable
DIST_COMMON. Automake will never overwrite a variable you
defined, assuming you know better than it does.
* To fix you problem, simply remove this variable definition
and let automake do its job: the two files it lists are files
that automake would automatically distribute anyway.
* To distribute extra files, do use the documented variable
EXTRA_DIST.
* Running `automake -Wall' will warn you about user definitition
that overwrite automake variable (among other things).
