well, all I expect from them is that the repository should
be in a consistent state at all time.

(in other words, never assume that just because generated
files are rebuilt by the unix makefiles, they don't have to be
checked into the repository).

for a moment, sjoerd's problem report made me think that
someone had messed up here...  but I just checked, and
he hadn't ;-)
