cgen can't make CVS-friendly packages

It would be nice if cgen could create packages which do not contain the generated source code files, but only the meta files (Makefile.am, configure-related, etc) including a call to cgen to generate the source files when the package is built. It would be even better if the list of source files could be determined at build time instead of relying on a static list in the makefile. Perhaps a secondary non-automake file could be used or included for this purpose? Currently, bindings package in CVS end up being massaged into this form by hand.
A new option to cgen (-no-sources) is in trunk. This will make a package which is much closer to what we need for CVS. joe
