Hmm, yeah, I just manually deleted everything mentioned in .cvsignore
and it works now.

It seems there's no way to do this directly.  I have this:
   find . -name .cvsignore | while read line   do       dir=$(dirname $line)       cd $dir       rm -fv `cat
.cvsignore`      cd "$OLDPWD"   done
 

Could we have a target in the root Makefile for this?  Right now it
bails out with

$ make distclean
You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file
'INSTALL' for installation instructions.
make: *** [distclean] Erreur 1

Right -- the point is that keywords.c has
#include "parser/gram.h"
so if you start from src/backend, then the file is found.

Could be.  Maybe we could just remove the line to avoid future
confusion.
