Not really since they're part of the development process, and tracking
their changes in cvs is just as valid... Some of the files could be
removed from the releases (aclocal.m4, configure.in, Makefile.am, etc)
Makefile.in and configure need to stay as it would be a useless build
system without configure and configure reads Makefile.in to generate the
Makefiles.

So they must stay in cvs, and are optional for the releases.
