Huh? You want to remove these files?  These files almost NEVER change,
and the SableCC gets continually re-built over and over.

ideSupport is built almost exclusively out of classes from generated
code - meaning SableCC and Castor. Unless you've been updating the TQL
grammar or the configuration files schema then you don't need these
files to be rebuilt.

I'd love to check all the generated classes into SVN, but the fact is
that they *do* occasionally change (very rarely), so I can't really.
In the meantime, re-building them all the time slows down an already
slow build. And you *have* to clean regularly, since the dependencies
haven't been worked out properly. (Yes, this needs fixing, but it's
not a priority for me right now).
