 That's good; now we just have to figure out how to fix it in
 configure.ac, because I'm sure otherwise Joerg will refuse to allow
 it.

 That's... odd. Can you check the timestamps on the files involved?
 
 The do-extract rule that copies the source from files/ into the work
 directory doesn't preserve times, so I wonder if some of the results
 need to be strategically touched afterwards.
 
 (if so I'm not sure why it shouldn't trigger for other people, but
 maybe the speed of the platform's a factor...)
