No. If we really don't use them (note the difference from
"not really

All I am using to compile lisp sources is the Makefile that is part of
the current package -- updated to reflect additional lisp sources.
However, in general we check in all the upstream source even if we
don't use it -- we could and should save a few lines in ls output by
throwing away all the generated files, though. We do not legally have
to distribute files that are in CVS but are not used in generating the
package, but we usually do (in xemacs-packages/etc/mmm/).
I'll include all files that allow the original build system to be
used (provided you have proper versions of autoconf and automake
installed on your system).
