First thing we'd have to figure out is what behavior we want instead.
There are at least two places in the manual that actually say these
files are in the source tree, so it's not just a minor coding detail.
(In fact, I think at least part of the intention is to have the user
learn how to build functions from source, so possibly the right question
to ask is why *should* these be shipped in binary builds?)
