exactly, it's not needed in the tarball (which I think it is included
now), but it should stay from CVS. The thing for all this is that some
checks contained in the macros/ dir change sometimes, and it will be
very annoying to update our own checks (copypasted from the original
gnome macros/) each time this happens. And some of these checks are not
at all GNOME specific, such as the ORBIT, OAF, Glib checks.
