I know Moe and Danny well enough to know that, if they're doing it that way, they have a damn good reason. :-) That said, in the general case, the rule still applies. Having those autotools-generated files in the repository creates a lot of unnecessary churn and potential conflicts between systems with differing versions of the autotools. There's a whole slew of pain to be had doing merges between branches maintained with seperate autotools versions! But with a small development team, especially if they're all running the same OS on their dev boxes, it's probably not a huge issue.
