FWIW, I think the less built files in the version control the better.
Apart from bootstrapping purpose, they better be released separately,
I'd say.

Having them as separate tarballs or single files on the project's
website is enough, I think.

I never managed to build the docs, so if you fixed that, that's good
news. I tried again, but I bothered that it needs that Elephant be
successfully compiled for BDB. If I never use BDB (and it was the case
when I used Elephant previously), I'd like the doc to be buildable
without having to install and setup BDB...

On the other hand, maybe that's not a big deal as long as we provide
already built documentation.

Separately,
Pierre
