I agree strongly with Maurice on this one.  Probably there are some
exceptions which we are still hunting down, but we generally have been able
to keep all generated files out of CVS since we assume our CVS users have a
full application environment.  The real judgement call is whether to
generate those files for the distribution tarball (thus relieving general
users of the requirement of importing special applications [e.g., swig is
required for generating the python interface source code, and perl is
required for generating the tcl interface code].) Assuming you put together
some nmake rule for generating tclIndex, will that rule require a special
application like swig or perl?  Or can you generate tclIndex using tcl?
