This breaks "make distcheck" for me.

test -d "gnumeric-1.12.46" || mkdir "gnumeric-1.12.46"
cp: cannot stat
'.//home/welinder/gnome/gnumeric/samples/regress.gnumeric': No such
file or directory

Not during distcheck.  Anything written by the compilation will go
into the build directory while src can remain readonly.  I don't think
that's related to the distcheck failure, though.
