One trick I use in my own packages is to make generated files
read-only.  Then my editor screams at me if I try to edit them, even
if I don't remember to read the "MACHINE GENERATED: DO NOT EDIT"
comment at the top.  CVS doesn't really support this, I don't think,
but we could have `contrib/egcs_update' mark generated files read-only
since it already knows which ones they are.

Might help a little.
