The files you generate.

Ah. Can you copy the ,v files to the new dir and then cvs rm the old
ones?
(I hate cvs - this is one reason why.)

There may be some other way - if you are willing to require folks to
"follow the instructions" instead of having folks decide to arbitrarily
jump to some subdir and type "make" there in order to get the beast to
build you can get around some problems that way.
Here are some possible choices:
- use AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS() to produce your generated files:
AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([gen-pstuff], [make -C subdir]) so they will be
ready for the top-level build
- Carefully place '.' in SUBDIRS and use a (possibly new) subdir ahead
of '.' to produce the generated files
