When you run make distcheck autotools prepares the current code for a
release. On on the steps is to package it up into a tarball and run
configure and make inside.

That means all files that are not listed correctly in Makefile.am are
not included in the tarball. If these are needed for the actual build it
will fail.

In this case the png file have been simply missed to put in EXTRA_DIST.
No big deal but better to find and fix these things early instead of
waiting months until release time and then deal with it while other
things are more important. We have make distcheck running on our nightly
build jobs on jenkins. That's how I spot them.
