Hello,

when applying some patches I noticed differences between the release tar
ball (5.40) and the releated git commit (FILE5_40). In the lists below,
the lined marked with "*" are autoconf-related or seem otherwise prudent to
omit. About everything else, are they just missing (or superfluous)
in EXTRA_DIST in the respective Makefile.am?


In tar ball, not in git
=======================

*   Makefile.in
*   aclocal.m4

    fuzz/project.yaml
*   m4/.cvsignore
*   magic/.cvsignore
    magic/Magdir/alpha          Should have been removed in "remove alpha" in 2011?
    magic/Magdir/etf            Not referenced at all?
    magic/Magdir/rinex          Should have been removed in "PR/364: Add GRIB data" in 2014?
