There is nothing in any of the INSTALL files to suggest what is supposed
to happen if the files pre-exist, but as I said, autogen.sh completely
lacks any way to force these files to be re-created by giving the
autoreconf call the correct option.

My expectation would be that any call to autogen.sh would re-create
these files.


Regards,
Achim.
