    Fred> Ok, here's the plan: Change Setup.in to Setup.dist, and provide a
    copy as Setup.

I don't like the idea that a file I am supposed to edit (Setup) would be in
the CVS repository where it could conceivably get messed with by a "cvs up"
command.  The current makefile target that emits a warning if Setup.in
(.dist) is newer than Setup should be sufficient to alert users when Setup
needs to be looked at.
