Another option, at least for the two text files README.gcc and unprotoize.c
may be to generate a diff file which first removes them, then adds them
with the proper content.

That seems to do the right thing for both files with my trivial testing;
I just kludged up the release script to do this and will see if I get
a patch file that works.  


That would leave the two .gmo files in the texinfo dist.  I don't see
a way to include them in a patch file unless we can assume that the
end user is using gnu-patch (which I'd prefer not to do).

They're both non-critical and do not appear to effect the build process
at all.  The only effect should be translation of messages from texinfo
into German and French will not work.  I think these would be appropriate
to include in a RESYNC directory.

 
Even though the patch files are 1/2 the size of the full dist, that is
significant, particularly for folks without T1 or fractional T1 speed
links (not to mention less load on links for our various mirror sites).
