      I'm looking at common/Makefile.in from 1.7.0

      Are these rules needed?
     
     
  Arguably, both of these could still be used, but the source data files haven't 
been modified in a long time.

  The item-types.h could actually probably go away now that the client_type is 
supported on the server - some code would have to get removed to go with that, 
but not that big a deal.

  the def-keys basically just takes the def-keys file and turns it into a .h 
file that can be included so that compiled in defaults are available.  However, 
if one looks at the compiled in version, its pretty darn basic, and probably 
easy enough for a user to modify directly and not need the conversion script.

      If so, can we make a script directory for them?

      I'm not sure why they are in the common directory.
     
     
  They are in the common directory because they are used as part of the build 
process - there is no reason to install these files anyplace after compilation, 
as they are of no use.

  I note that the second one - utils/mdk.sh is in fact broken as is, because the 
utils directory is in the top level of the client directory, but the rule itself 
is in the common directory, so it would in fact never find the script in the 
first place (should really be ../utils/mdk.sh)
