Take it the other way around: these (generated) files are the same for
everybody, so why putting on thousands of people the burden of generating the
same files over and over again ?
An even better reason: more and more people use CVS instead of
tarballs, including people that are not developers. So you actually want your
archive to look like a distribution tarball. You don't want to require from
all CVS users to have the developer tools needed to rebuild the generated
files.
