Another good reason to put automatically-generated files under CVS is when
they are generated by uncommon tools and when you have a wide user community.
"configure" scripts produced by autoconf are a typical example: if you want
your CVS users to be able to install your software without having to install
autoconf, it's a good idea (see <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi
/SRC/?cvsroot=echoping> for an example, several files are automatically
generated).
