seems like the only thing that changed was you updated the version in
configure.ac without re-running autotools ... so running `autoconf`
and then touching everything should be sufficient i think (for
distribution maintainers)

for autotool based projects, ive taken to using `make distcheck` as
that should catch a lot of common errors (including this one)
