Done.

It seems to me that gendistlist.sh should be rewritten from scratch.
It's completely outdated.  It should sort its output in C locale for
consistency.  It should be smart enough not to pick *.sh files for which
*.sh.in exists.  It should include documentation and all C files barred
known exceptions (symlist.c, grub_*_init.c, mod-*.c)

Once gendistlist.sh is good enough to allow "make distcheck" to pass,
then we can do little adjustments and decide what should or should not
be in the distribution.

Thanks.  Fixed.
