The question of how to deal with generated content is an
interesting one.  On the one hand, we ought to want to avoid
redundancy.  On the other, providing redundant content may help
people that are lacking certain tools.

Thinking towards the future, would we want to add pre-made
packages for particular operating systems to the svn repository?

There are entire chunks of code from aldor/aldor/src that show up
elsewhere in the svn repository, even though they are clearly
copied by Makefile's.  Should we remove them too?
