Hi,

originally, we did not include those autogenerated files in the SVN. 
However, if we need to restore an older release *exactly* the way it has 
been released back then, it's quite useful to have those autogenerated 
files in the repository. Otherwise, we would need to "backport" the whole 
toolchain as well, to get an exact same result.

Regards,
Tobias
