Thanks for pointing this out, Thomas. I'll fix both the scrollkeeper
examples module and the common omf.make fragment that many modules pull
in from gnome-common. I think some modules (and certainly a couple I use
elsewhere) work around this problem using the method recommended n the
automake info files (telling automake to ignore certain files during
distcleancheck), but just removing them is not too crazy either, in this
case.

Cheers,
