Actually, I include them when I converted to Automake because they were included with
previous CVS distributions. I'm not certain they're actually useful, I just didn't
want
to ask at the time.
Most likely, they're generated thrice because Automake assumes that they will not be
distributed and adding the files to EXTRA_DIST doesn't remove them from the clean
target,
or somesuch.
I'm inclined to trust the Automake folks at this point since these sorts of issues
come up
there more often. If no one objects I'll pull the auxiliary files from EXTRA_DIST
tomorrow.

This comment is still valid (unless there's a workaround which I am unaware of). It
refers to creating a specific cvsclient.pdf: cvsclient.ps target as opposed to a
.pdf.ps:
target. The generic target, when I tried it, overrode the generic .pdf.texinfo: target
when postscripts are created first, and TEXI2DVI creates PDF with hotlinks, indices,
and
TOCs, whereas the PS2PDF target creates flat pages, leaving generation from the texinfo
source quite preferable.
