Yes, I've mentioned that. Most other projects avoid putting any such
files into CVS, thus requiring people who use CVS to download the
package to have a current set of tools.

However, this project decided to place the files into CVS because:

- the CVS download method is the most frequently suggested to solve
problems, and

- that answering questions about the versions of the tools required
would be a waste of time.

If this project were a democracy, I'd urge for a vote on which way to
go, and would vote for removal of generated files. But I say this
project is a benevolent dictatorship, and that Brian Bruns is doing
quite an excellent job, and we can easily cope with the complexity of
generated files in CVS at this time. ;-)

In the meanwhile, someone with CVS access has to have the official job
of regenerating configure and so on prior to release. I'm expected that
is Brian.
