I also agree, 
but we must have them in the tarball, 
so there should be a target to just build them if we remove them from
the CVS version.

Not everybody has a recent autoconf or flex/bison installed and properly
configured. Which means we are excluding some people from using the
CVS directly. (I do not think it is a problem, but it should be noted.)
