Yes.

You should not bother running cgen in this tedious way.  If you are
doing an opcodes port, use the infrastructure in place in the
src/opcodes/Makefile.{am,in} to run CGEN for you.  I think this point
has been discussed before.

I believe there is an application-switch to specify where the
generated files should go.  Again, this is handled for you by the
opcodes Makefile.

Sorry it took so long -- it was a three-day weekend.
