So either these files should not be removed with make clean,
or they need to be regenerated in case they are missing.
As far as the files in help are concerned: they are being regenerated,
so they should probably just be removed via distclean, not clean.
Btw, whtat happened to Guys patch that makes generating the .h files
in help/ obsolete?
I don't know anything about the plugin things.
I didn't find the time to look at the help topic, but I think Guys
solution is the better way than the current one ...
Maybe I will find some time for the patch around christmas now ...
This will require every packaging scripts to be updated, to include the
help .txt files. I'm able to do this for the win32 NSIS,
but I don't know a lot of the other packagings (deb, rpm, ...), I will
need some help for this.
When I have updated and tested the things for win32, I will check it in
and send an "emergency help request" to this list.
