After doing a make clean (*not* distclean), cvs up reports the following:

cvs update: warning: help/capture_filters.h was lost
U help/capture_filters.h
cvs update: warning: help/display_filters.h was lost
U help/display_filters.h
cvs update: warning: help/faq.h was lost
U help/faq.h
cvs update: warning: help/overview.h was lost
U help/overview.h
cvs update: warning: help/well_known.h was lost
U help/well_known.h
cvs update: warning: plugins/Xass-list was lost
U plugins/Xass-list
cvs update: warning: plugins/Xplugin_api.c was lost
U plugins/Xplugin_api.c
cvs update: warning: plugins/Xplugin_api.h was lost
U plugins/Xplugin_api.h
cvs update: warning: plugins/Xplugin_api_decls.h was lost
U plugins/Xplugin_api_decls.h
cvs update: warning: plugins/Xplugin_table.h was lost
U plugins/Xplugin_table.h

So either these files should not be removed with make clean,
or they need to be regenerated in case they are missing.

As far as the files in help are concerned: they are being regenerated,
so they should probably just be removed via distclean, not clean.
Btw, whtat happened to Guys patch that makes generating the .h files
in help/ obsolete?

 Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
