should not have happened without discussion. I should have nipped it in the bud before it got committed but I was busy visiting family. This has been discussed before and the decision was made to do it this way because the files generated in the source tree were not configuration dependent and only need to be generated once(except the opengl shader generator which is a separate issue). If a file is configuration dependent i.e. version.h and config.h, then is should be in the build path because it can be different depending on the build configuration. If it's not configuration dependent i.e. all of the s-expr files, it should stay in the source path because it is the same for every configuration. It's also nice to be able to grep the s-expr files in the source tree as your writing your new file format rather than having to change to the build path. Please do not make the "there should never be generated source files in the source tree" argument. This argument is flawed and leans too close to zealotry for my tastes. The idea that your source tree is going to stay pristine is delusional. Most editors and the patch command leave plenty of cruft in your source tree.
