I personally hate checking out source that cannot be compiled by simply:

    ./configure && make && sudo make install

So while you are correct, that those files can be generated with:

    autoreconf --install -W gnu

I value the ease of being able to do configure over having a few redundant files in Git.

These files are generated by aclocal and configure:

paulo:~/src/parallel (fixes)$ g st
On branch fixes
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        modified:   Makefile.in
        modified:   aclocal.m4
        modified:   src/Makefile.in

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        autom4te.cache/
        src/parallel.orig

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Shouldn't the first three be unstaged and all five added to .gitignore ?
