	I know we had a long thread about all this years ago, and there were
	reasons why it is the way it is.

	IIRC, it's best if autoconf generates these files, as it can have version
	specific stuff in them. I think we hit a snag once when autoconf changed
	something, and our frozen copies broke it.

	We keep those copies around in the misc directory as a fallback, in case
	it doesn't generate them.

	It's why we have these targets in the Makefile:
_______________________________
config.guess config.sub:
        -automake --add-missing 2> /dev/null      <-- THIS SHOULD GENERATE THE TWO FILES. IF NOT, NEXT TWO LINES DO
        if [ ! -e config.sub   ]; then echo NOTE: Using frozen copy of config.sub;   cp misc/config.sub   . ; fi
        if [ ! -e config.guess ]; then echo NOTE: Using frozen copy of config.guess; cp misc/config.guess . ; fi
_______________________________

	..and why 'make distclean' does this:
_______________________________
        $(RM) config.guess
        $(RM) config.sub
        $(RM) configure
_______________________________
