I do the same thing with the pccarddevs, and it isn't that big of a
pain.  It is useful to have, and often points out mistakes people have
made.

Someone threatened to rewrite all this stuff a long time ago, but that
never appeared.  It is too painful from my experimentation with
pccarddevs to generate on the fly all the time.

I also tend to commit both pccarddevs and pccardevs*.h on one commit
on MFC, but there haven't been too many of them.
