Right! That is exactly what ./PrepareRelease does! And having done it,
it might as well just create config.h.generic in situ rather than having
"make dist" do it, at least, that's my opinion. All the instructions for
making config.h.generic are then together in one place. Otherwise people
might imagine that "make config.h.generic" will work without having done
./configure first.

Indeed it was, but I didn't check to see whether the config.h.generic
that I got was my development version or the version that "make dist"
made.
