Great, I'll assume this approval applies (with the comments) to my
text-only patch as well.

I don't know.

That would be simpler.

I guess I wanted to provide instructions for putting your build system
back in a "working normal" state: you type "cvs update", "configure",
and "make", and things just work, without needing to remember to copy
over certain files.

But obviously, the instructions should mention the simpler
alternative, for those less forgetful than me.
