This is almost as weird as the request from someone who was running
CVS on Windows.

In order to build Postfix you do not need the .indent or .printfck
files. They are used for development only.

How about you produce a patch to the Makefile.in files that copies
../.whatever so that dotfiles are kept up to date without bother.
