Oh, right.  Looks like I when I split one of my patches before pushing,
I did so at the wrong hunk.  Sorry.

The next patch to canonicalize the directory layout in line with the
lua and zi branches moves zile-help2man-wrapper into build-aux (because
it is not a source file), whereupon the prematurely committed .gitignore
you noticed makes more sense.  I'll commit presently when I've double
checked VPATH and non-VPATH builds still work.
