(I think you mean "rule".)  Thanks for the pointer, Freddy.  

I agree with you that num_limits.h shouldn't be in CVS.  But it's a
little more complicated than adding just one rule.  

The problem with not committing autogenerated files: teach autogen to
make num_limits.h when building from CVS, but to include num_limits.h in
the output of "make dist".  The reason, you remember, is that people who
build from distributions and snapshots shouldn't need Perl.  I know we
agree on that point; I'm just reminding everyone.  

I just committed changes to src/tds/Makefile.am that I think meets these
requirements.
