When they encounter a set of rules such as:
a: b
$(srcdir)/b:
most makes don't identify $(srcdir)/b as fitting for `b'.
Specifically, if $(srcdir)/b already exists, it will fullfill
the dependency as it is the right file, but target lookup won't
ever find it as a dependency.
As far as I could tell @VTEXI@ is always intended to be built in
the source directory, so the following patch allows it to be
correctly built with any make:

dependency.
* texi-vers.am: Likewise.
