Yeah, I kindof agree...

Ideally, the files in the CVS repository should be source files only,
that is: no files that can be created from other files. So Klasses.jar
should be removed if you believe this philosophy. Similarly with
"configure" (which is, correctly, *not* in the CVS repository).

There should then be a top-level target for "make distribution", which
would convert a CVS checked-out tree into a kaffe-snap distribution
tree, ie, it would:

  - Build Klasses.jar from the source files
  - Generate "configure" from "configure.in" using autoconf
  - Whatever else I've missed

Then there could also be another makefile target "make sourceclean"
which would do the reverse, ie:

  - Do a "make distclean" first
  - Remove Klasses.jar, configure, ...

Just some thoughts..
