Personally, I think it would be fine these days to treat the refcard
pdfs like the info files. Don't keep them in the repo, but include them
in the release tarfiles (just need to make make-dist gripe/build them if
they are not found in the source tree). Every halfway modern GNU/Linux
system has suitable (optional) TeX packages. And it's not like these
pdfs have real changes very often.
