Not at the moment. Those are maintainer managed files that change if you
don't build from a release tar ball. You can ignore any changes (they
are all in the comments). Maybe we can leave them out of the git repo
and only put them in the release tar balls?
Thanks Mark!
I set git to ignore changes in these files now.
