it should be in 
  tp/maintain/regenerate_file_lists.pl
but you have to run it from the tp directory.

That puzzles me.  I see the files in the repository, and, unless I am
missing something the shell should always expand ./t/include_reference/*.*
tp the list of files...

They also are distributed in Makefile.am.

What does a 
  ls ./t/include_reference/*.*
give?

Ok.

Ok.  I'll certainly go through the TODO and the FIXME in the code for now,
and it is at the beginning, so it should be done next...  I still need 
some informations though, I'll certainly do a separate mail for that.
