Yup. We could have gen-make produce a list of the .c files that go into
Subversion (excluding generated .c files). It might not be too hard, even.
I know that it is a simple query from the dependency graph, but I think
that would pull in the bindings' .c files. So it might need a bit more
thought... mebbe there is a way to ask for all .c files which *aren't*
generated. Might require a bit of judo, but I bet the graph can answer
that question.

(then we dump that into POTFILES.in)
