I understand, just wanted to see if you could change your mind easily.
I guess we could advocate both choices:
* track the file because it's shipped in the spkg and used by the build
process and cannot be autogenerated on all systems,
* exclude it because it's automatically generated before shipping (as
configure, Makefile et al files in autotools driven packages!)
I'll try to give the spkg a proper look by the end of the week (although
everything looks fine after a quick look).
