Implying something in DISTFILES is always a bad idea as it means
that the contents is always present as a file. IMHO it should
be left to the maintainer to either distribute it in files/ or
generate it dynamically in the Makefile.

So for me also a favor for the second solution.

One last question: When I read INFOFILES I think of texinfo-files,
or at most pkginfo, but not prototype "i"-files. Maybe we can get
some more informal votes on the best name?
