Yes you can put them in EXTRA_DIST (which will do nothing except put
them in the tarball at 'make dist' time, and of course at that time
ensure that they are present).  You can also add them to the library
conditionally:

if WINDOWS
libezcommon_la_SOURCES += stdafx.cpp stdafx.h targetver.h
endif

provided that you have defined a suitable automake conditional
AM_CONDITIONAL([WINDOWS], [...]) in configure.ac.

I think others commented on this already.  I should maybe add that
mingw.org has a good documentation on the details of library symbol
handling with GNU tools.

HTH.  Cheers,
