Let me elaborate a bit on this, 'cause I found it confusing when I encountered it last week. These files didn't appear in my copy when I used CVS checkout to get version v4-04-02 intitially (soon after it was tagged), or updated to v4-04-02b (or if they did come, something deleted them before attempting to build them). But when I recently updated to v4-04-02f they appeared and caused problems. The extra confusing part is that they seem to have CVS histories that predate v4-04-02 and so I don't understand why they weren't a problem from the start. Was this a result of deletion by some script/Makefile, a suppression in CVS, or a re-structuring of CVS behind the scene?
