I've cleaned up the CVS repository, removing all generated files, and
added them to .cvsignore files in each directory. The impact of this
change varies according to who you are.


Users of FreeTDS:

- if you use freetds-current.tgz or the freetds-0.53pre1.tgz versions,
there is no change to build process; apply the usual './configure &&
make && make install'.

- if you use CVS to get the code, then after the initial 'cvs checkout',
do an './autogen.sh && make' (rather than the './configure && make'),

- subsequent use 'cvs update' will no longer undo adjustments you had
made to the configure or Makefile's.



Developers of FreeTDS:

- do a 'cvs update' now, and the generated files will be marked 'no
longer pertinent',

- do an './autogen.sh' now, and whenever you change any of the build
tools, which are automake, autoconf, and libtool,

- take note of any files listed during a 'cvs update', the abbreviations
next to the file names mean;

U you didn't have this file, it has been copied in,
A you've 'cvs add'ed this file, but not yet committed,
R you've 'cvs remove'ed this file, but not yet committed,
M changes made by others have been merged, or
changes made by you have not yet been committed,
C a conflict was detected while trying to merge,
? you have a file, it isn't in CVS, nor in .cvsignore

If any files show up with ? that were created by the build process, let
me know. None show up when I build.


James: I have adjusted the FAQ in CVS for building from CVS. The FAQ on
the 'net is now inconsistent with reality.
