The procedure to release package like this is that the package manager
runs ./bootstrap first, and then create a tarball of the result. Also,
remove the "autom4te.cache" directory that may have been generated.
Whether to also remove the bootstrap and configure.ac/in files from
the tarball, is up to the package manager (probably we should settle
on something?).
