Bug#832941: RFS: 4pane
Dear Sean,
>>> Files in .build/ remain, and are not given in d/copyright.

I believe you; it's not my idea of light relaxation either.

Thank you for the suggestion, which sounds entirely reasonable to me. I've
updated d/copyright along those lines, and uploaded a new tarball with
Makefile.in removed.

Sorry, wrong TLA; it was actually a notification about this RFS, which still
seems live.
