I think 'ltmain.sh' is a generated file (at least, I hope it is), this  
change severely broke compilation here. I had to add '--force' to my  
autoreconf line to make this compile again. In the process, it  
re-created quite a couple of other files, so I don't think we should  
distribute these either:

	config.guess
	config.sub
	depcomp
	install-sh
	ltmain.sh
	missing

It also modified the INSTALL file, but I have my doubts that we really  
want that (maybe the information in it should be moved to another  
file). Can someone more familiar with libtool comment on this?

Best regards, Arjen

My apologies, this is the case that Buildbot was supposed to catch.
However, I was trying to be fancy with the email addresses, and it
broke.

With GNU software, the INSTALL file is typically boilerplate
information on how to invoke the ./configure script. Not sure if
there's a way around that.

We should distribute the other files you mentioned, but only in a
tarball, not in SVN. That should be handled automatically in 'make
dist'. It is annoying that the autoconf/autotools authors do not
provide a list of generated files, though.
