It's not generated; it's manually created and modified. From my working
copy:

        $ stat src/libopenvrml/openvrml/Vrml97TokenTypes.txt
          File: `src/libopenvrml/openvrml/Vrml97TokenTypes.txt'

No; I did intend to put things in src/libopenvrml/openvrml.

I know about them. As I mentioned, I'm generating these built sources
into srcdir because I want them to be distributed in the tarball. It's
my understanding that putting them in srcdir is the proper thing in that
case.
