Darcs does not have this behavior.  It generates only posix.exports.  My 
Darcs Cygwin compilation is showing a version of 2.517.

"make dist" on Cygwin fails with Automake 2.10.  It looks like this 
version of Automake doesn't generate the "compile" file.  My sanity 
checking code looks for the expected "compile" file, doesn't find it, 
and emits an error.  I suppose I could list out different expected files 
for different versions of Automake.  But this is a PITA and I don't feel 
like being bothered right now.  I make a note of it in passing.
