Correct.  We also ship Bison generated files, but we don't `bootstrap'
them usually.  bootstrap is a patch, a hack, for we simply don't have
any Makefile available at that moment, otherwise, it would be make
bootstrap.  So I'm in favor of having boostrap as small as possible.

As a matter of fact, I even wonder if we are not willing a mere:

$ cat bootstrap
make -f Makefile.am bootstrap

and that's all.
