Re: Generating file lists from a script

Maintaining the lists of files and directories in the makefiles is error-prone. Would it make sense to use a script to generate them from the git repository? The script would get it right every time, whereas I tend to get it wrong more times than not.

As long as we're still maintaining a list of files in the source tree, rather than doing something like copying whole directories, and we don't have to make the Makefiles less readable to accomodate the script, I don't mind.
