You can, see:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/src/Makefile.am#n298
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-menus/tree/libmenu/Makefile.am#n60
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/tree/libgnome-desktop/Makefile.am#n92

We discussed fixing Makefile.introspection to do this automatically, but
even if we did so, the relevant modules should also add a dependency, to
avoid failure when building with older gobject-introspection.
