I completely agree with this.  We shouldn't put anything that is
compiled into the the source 
control repository.

When we make a release, we will always want to construct a appropriate
tar balls (and, as people
have point out, this may include documentation) in any case as part of
the release process.

I'm pleased that we're making progress towards a more robust build
process, and it certainly
seems we are becoming more completely multi-platfrom.  Ian is doing most
of the actual work,
but obviously, if a multi-LISP, multi-OS, multi-backend system it takes
patient and informed
testers such as y'all to make this process work.
