If you look at the build system of KDE (which is mostly C++) and you do
build src != build you will still find loads of files in your sourcetree;
there are just too many applications that either don't know how to build
outside source; or are a major headace to use if you indeed try.
Most files that are generated are .am or .in files, but there are various
files with the same extension that go in CVS all the same.
In this case the rule is (again) if there is a XYZ.am.in file; don't put the
XYZ.am in cvs.
I'm not sure about the best solution for this; but the current state is not
scaling very well..
