Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that bibledit could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it uselessly ships config.log etc. in the binary
packages which include all sorts of environment-specific data.

Patch attached that simply doesn't install these files... BUT it looks
like there is a whole bunch of cruft in the -data package anyway,
essentially including the build-directory itself (with Makefile.am etc.
etc.)

In other words, only specifying the stuff bibledit really needs in
bibledit-data.install would be the superior solution. :)
