Sorry for replying to myself here, but the same goes for the two other calendar
loaddefs (diary-loaddefs and hol-loaddefs). They need to exist for
bootstrap to work,
and the bootstrap process does NOT regenerate them at any point (nor does a
"make recompile updates" in lisp/, which I run as part of my daily
rebuild-from-CVS).
So it looks as though the Makefile.in in lisp/ has not been correctly
instrumented to
create them.
