Yes, I see.  This makes it difficult to divorce a source distribution
from a binary distribution under the usual packaging methodologies
used by open source software collections.  I hope it will change in
future, as it hinders the packaging process.  (I wish I could devote
time to fixing it).

Yes.  I now withdraw my objection.  They should be included in the
"make dist" generated tar.gz file.
