This test (and the other for filter-lexer.c) is incorrect for VPATH
builds.

If someone grabs the tarball generated by make dist, extracts it in a
"source" directory, and calls configure from a different build
directory, this check behaves as if it was a git tree (missing .h/.c
files).

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
