make distcheck failing for pretty much everyone

[Brian J. Tarricone]

Ok, this is done -- all modules in the xfce and goodies repos have been
changed -- at least the ones that have the version macro on the same
line of the file as the start of the AC_INIT call.  If other brokenness
shows up as I start creating snapshots, I'll fix 'em as they come up.
