Why add auto-generated files to the CVS repository?
I think it is generally considered (by other open source projects
anyway) a bad idea to include auto-generated files in CVS. Sometimes,
people will regenerate these files using their local tools, and then
they'll have 'cvs diff' produce crap. De
Ross,
I believe what David was doing was adding the autogenerated files to
the .cvsignore files ... (threw me at first too.)

I didn't -- I added config.h to .cvsignore, so that cvs won't complain
about an unknown file.
