Fortunately the process is far more automated than that, and so there is
no need for anyone to manually add or remove anything. 

You are correct to note that yes, I'm talking about not shipping the
pre-built output of pidl in the tarball.  While nobody seems to have
noticed so far, the current beta releases do not include the
pre-requisites for the autoconf build.  

At this point I'm the one responsible creating the new release scripts,
I'm working to redress that.  The new scripts are a wrapper around 'waf
dist', and Karolin's job remains as automated at is was in the past. 

Not packaging the pidl output would make my job easier, and will reduce
the tarball size.  I know you have concerns about deployments where
python is just too modern, but I was hoping that by the time we release
in late 2012 that perl would be a reasonable assumption. 

Thanks,
