Actually I don't think that's fine. m4-common is used for generating 
release tarballs, not building them; it should not be required for the 
release. And I'm not sure what crates is, but if that's Rust crates, 
they should all be included in the librsvg tarball.

So we have some modules that are needed when building from git, but not 
from tarballs. Probably modules that don't have corresponding tarballs 
should be dropped from the bst moduleset. I think that's what the 
original convert-to-tarballs script did.
