+- Add a self created source tarball, directly exported from svn.
+  The upstream provided tarball misses a bunch of file (notably in
+  the german language), which are all in svn, but due them not
+  being listed in Makefile.am, make dist did not add them to the
+  tarball (Addresses part of bnc#771530).
+- Add gnucash-docs-fixup.patch: mark the missing files to be
+  installed as well.
+- Add libtool BuildRequires and call autogen.sh in build section,
+  as this tarball has not been preprocessed at all.
