Right. But a key part of the spec file in any case is simply a list of
the files that should be installed.  There may be files in the source
tree that we think should be kept for user reference in the installed
version, but the distributors won't necessarily know which files these
are. I would *hope* they at least think to install the demo files, but
they may not know to first run 'make' in the demo directory to generate
binary data files.
The pm3d/contrib directory?  
The old README.* files?
The tutorial?
ps_guide.ps?
