cedet-build.el is not obsolete, I just didn't have time to update it.

cedet-autogen.el however *is* obsolete. It is important for
compatibility with the Emacs build process that we rely on the usual
`batch-update-autoloads'. We're also not allowed to autoload EIEIO
classes and methods anymore, so there's really no reason to keep
using cedet-autogen.

I would not only consider it but happily accept them. :-)
