(I asked why it looks for that directory, but didn't see any answers.) That seems really ugly. I think we should track down the reason for that conditional, and either document it or remove it (and solve whatever problem in some other way). Can you do that? Handa-san tried to fix this by checking the missing files into CVS, but Miles objected, saying that generated files should not be there. I agree these files should not be in CVS. So I don't think these files should be in CVS, and I don't think there's any problem in make-dist. Rather, before creating a snapshot, people should say "make bootstrap" in their sandbox. If this is so, make-dist should check that a bootstrap has been done, and fail with a clear error message otherwise.
