Some different idea:
Rename imc{parser,lexer}.[ch] files in CVS to
imc{parser,lexer}_c.generated. In non--maintainer mode these files are
simply copied, wheras in --maintainer mode the files are regenerated
from the sources imcc.[ly]. I think gcc uses something similar.
I don't think we even need to preserve the history
imc{parser,lexer}.[ch]; they are generated files anyway.
