building 1.8 (was: "make dist" shouldn't create doxygen documentation)

[Christian Stimming]

Hi Chris,

actually that file "dummy.c" never existed on my system at all. Since for 
whatever reason "make dist" required it, I just created such an empty file 
(touch dummy.c) and from there on, everything worked.

I'm now testing the tarball here... well, it works and runs "make distcheck". 
I guess it should work for you as well?
