libvirt.c and libvirt.h are auto-generated files. Mentioning their names in *_SOURCES includes them in the distribution. During an out-of-tree build these shipped files are included instead of the auto-generated version, potentially breaking the build (as it happend in 0.8.0, because the shipped libvirt.h was missing the declaration for 'libvirt_virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags') Use the nodist_*_SOURCES automake variable instead.
