And that left just configure and config-h.in as generated files.  At this
stage in the game, it was easy to remove those, too, and provide a
bootstrap script (but nowhere near as complex as CVS head's).

        * bootstrap: New file, so that generated files need not be stored
        in CVS.
        * Makefile.in (DISTFILES): Add bootstrap.
