Did you test 'make > distcheck' to ensure the tarball is complete? I like the idea too, except for the perl part, does it make it mandatory to have perl to build now (the remote generator may have pushed that dependancy already though).

I would actually put patch 4 first since it's a no-op and then patch 3 since it depends on 4 for the genration (but it's a detail).

Checking the full patch 4 seems hard did you just diff the current version and generated one (I would guess so) ? If yes ACK from me after checking builds as Eric suggests,
