The release and snapshot processes include steps to generate these
files. Hence the dependency only exists for developers using CVS.

Similar.
Configure needs to be re-generated with the correct autoconf and we want
everyone running the same script. If it isn't we'll end up chasing our
tail looking for host dependant autoconf bugs :-(
For .l and .y files I think they really should be rebuildable with any
(and not a specific lex/yacc et.al.).
enjoy,
Andrew
