I propose that we remove Makefile.in from cvs and keep only Makefile.am in the cvs.
If we do this, people who checkout from CVS would need to use auto amke tools to build the source. (This want be a problem as those who want to get it form CVS must be having enough know-how on how to get the auto tools working - alternatively for those who do not wish to use auto tools the Ant script is there)
When it comes to releases, developers could use auto tools and use 'make dist' to create the dist packgae having the configure script, so that those who download may not require to use auto tools but use the './configure;make; make install' triple.

Makefile.in files has been removed from CVS.
If anyone has trouble buiding with make file system, should try using ANT based despite the need to use Java based system.
