"shipping" as in "in the tar balls" is fine by me. but don't commit the

bad example ... the only reason why we still do that is because qmake is

(dependency tracking ...).

this cannot be said for a lot of other generated files, for which their
presence in the repository is pretty much historical only. don't add to
that history.
