Ahah. I'm a convinced supporter of personal life easing, so I
say if it works for you go for it. After all we have generated
parser files into CVS and release, we can as well have this one.
make maintainer-clean should get rid of it, and Makefile dependencies
should be able to recreate it if missed.

BTW: just for curiosity... how does it easy your life ? Are you
     a corner case of 'make' available / 'find' not ?
