Boris,
there used to be problems with automake older than a certain version,
and having the preprocessed files helped working on the code even if the
developer didn't have that specific version (clearly, if he was not
touching the makefiles).
So, by removing the preprocessed files, we are putting even more
constraints on the developer's toolset (have automake, and have it
updated). What kind of errors do you find when using a different version
of automake?

Hi,
I would like to remove the automake and autoconf-generated files
from the trunk. The problem with keeping them in the repository
is that if one configures in the maintainer's mode (and that's
what most of the people checking out from the repository will
do) then the build blows unless you have the exact same version
of autotools as the one with which files in the repository were
generated. This means that you have to reconfigure against your
local version of autotools before you can proceed.
If there are not objections, then I will remove configure,
Makefile.in, etc.
