The new globals.h is inconvenient as it is: adding o removing a global
variable is kind of a pain. Could someone change it so that globals.h
is auto-generated, based on macro calls in the C files like:
GLOBAL_VAR(Lisp_Object, Vfoo);
which would get expanded to nothing, but would tell the scripot about
the new Vfoo global var.

You don't even need a new macro, the script could just look for the
DEFVAR_{LISP,INT,BOOL} invocations.

We already have a tool that looks at them, it's called make-docfile.

Even better. I just want to remove globals.h from the Bzr repository
and have it be auto-generated instead.

PS: At some point we may also try and improve the dependencies so that
adding/removing/changing one of the vars in globals.h doesn't cause all
files to be rebuilt.
