generated files in CVS

[Mark Mitchell]

It is generally a bad idea to add generated files to CVS because:

1. You have to update both the original and the generated file.

2. People forget.

3. People update the generated file, but not the original, and their
   changes get overwritten.

Wouldn't it make more sense simply to include these in the distribution
tarball, but not put them in CVS?
