I tried using a fresh checkout from svn.  If I deleted these files 
(locally), ./configure did not work, so for now I have left them in svn.  
Maybe I am supposed to run something before ./configure to autogenerate these 
files?

Same for these

They are now in svn.

These are things put in by KDevelop (that's what I use to work on tuxmath in 
Debian).

I don't know enough to help here.

The latest commit includes Yves' diff for nsis integration (more reading to 
do!).  It seems to build and install OK with ./configure and so forth, 
but "make install" creates a blizzard of error messages that seem to be 
caused by the hidden .svn files.  Nonetheless, the program gets installed and 
seems to work properly.
