I'm more than fine with this actually. For the X packages I decided to keep
the autogenerated stuff in svn out of paranoia because I wanted to ensure
that everyone had the same build system while we were getting modular ready
for the archive. Now that this is a long finished milestone, I'm interested
in switching the X packages to run the autotools stuff at build time
because it really does feel like the right way to do things. Doing this
first with compiz will be a good test to see how it goes for us. Thoughts
from anyone else?
