A related item, how do you feel about files such as java script, that
are generated from .java source via google web toolkit.  The java script
file is not binary, and while it could be edited, it's not very friendly
to editing.  However upstream would like to pre-generate the java script
files as it removes a rather heavy build time requirement on google web
toolkit.  So the content /could/ be regenerated, but it doesn't need to
be.  Would these pre-generated files be acceptable to you in a Fedora
package?
