I'd prefer not, or I'll probably have to do extra work to create a
special PDF-less tarball each time! PDF is not the preferred source
form of the information, so the PDF file should not be in a source
tarball. Just like object files are not in the source tarball.
Makefile rules to create the PDF *should* be there -- but not the PDF
itself. That way, if desired, we could create a PDF as part of the
build process and put it in a bibletime-doc package or similar if it is
too big to always be included (which it probably is, if we end up with
many translated PDFs of the handbook!).

That sounds like a much more useful way to go, to me.
