Hello Jürgen,

In my work to implement regex support, I realised that creating a nice diff
for you is more difficult than it should be.

The main problem is caused by the fact that a lot of generated files are
part of the source respository. Since I made changes to these files, I end
up with a massive diff that includes all kinds of files that are not needed.

It would be nicer if these were not part of the repository, and one could
simply run autoreconf -fvi manually. This is what Emacs does, and it works
quite well.

It would also be nice if there was a way for an external contributor to
contribute merge requests directory to the respository. This is ideally
done using a distributed source control system such as Mercurial or Git,
but Subversion works too, although you would have to create accounts for
the other developers.

Is this something you could consider?

Regards,
Elias
