It's as simple as removing the AC_SOURCES lines and adding the files
to lib_SOURCES or noinst_HEADERS or EXTRA_DIST. For a .h file it doesn't
matter which of the three variables you use. For a .c file, use lib_SOURCES
if and only if you want the file to be compiled on all platforms.

The Files: lines must be present anyway.

AC_LIBOBJ also causes minor problems when you have several gnulib based
libraries in the same source tree, with a single configure.ac for both/all
of them. But that can be worked around in configure.ac.
