They do get automatically rebuilt if their source files change, in which case the source tree has already been modified. The source tree should not be modified by the build process alone; building should only modify the source tree if the source has already been modified. >If you're asking whether we should get rid of zsh.yo.in again so that >zsh.yo is not a generated file, you'll have to ask Clint.
