Why do we need to dist these files? We enforce that wayland (providing
wayland-scanner) and wayland-protocols (providing the XML) are present
at configure time, so disting them doesn't seem to provide any benefit
- they'll just be overwritten with the locally-generated variants. At
that point, we'll also have one copy in the source directory (from
dist), and another in the build directory (from local generation),
which seems like a recipe for disaster.

Cheers,
Daniel
