I'd happily do that if I could work out, or someone could explain, exactly
what's going on here.

The manual currently says: "You should never explicitly mention the
intermediate (C or C++) file in any ‘SOURCES’ variable; only list the
source file." Later, it talks about adding the header file to
"BUIILT_SOURCES". This seems at odds with what Mike said and I found
empirically.
