I strongly agree.  CVS should only contain files that you create - 
anything automatically generated should be done exactly like that - 
automatically.

Besides, ideally as code is written the platform sensitive parts are 
wrapped in magic that requires modification of autoconf files (adding 
macros, etc).  So the developer often needs autotools anyway.
