This is not an automake problem, the problem is triggered by the
following snippet in Makefile.am

declare_wslua.h: make-reg.pl $(wslua_modules) taps_wslua.c
        $(PERL) $(srcdir)/make-reg.pl $(wslua_modules);

and is (in the end) caused by make-reg.pl which wasn't designed to
work with out of tree builds.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
