They are there because automake includes targets specified at
BUILT_SOURCES to the distribution. This is probably so that people
would not necessary need the extra tools needed to build the
sources. (meant probably for things like yacc/lex which generate
source files, but only the developers need to have those tools.)

nope. And thats not good enough reason either.
