Huh?  Why would a user care what's in the tarball?

A 'naive' user won't even compile an app anyway.

A intermediate user will be able to compile it, but not care about how it gets 
built, so long as it does.

An advanced user will be interested in the logical structure of the DB, 
and may find the SQL script instructive.

Nobody cares if something is auto-generated - unless they actually need to 
install a new dependency to generate it.

What, like this? :o)

"This directory contains example Kexi database files in SQLite 3.1 format,
distributed with Kexi source package.
...
If you are using Kexi source code obtained from KDE Subversion repository,
you can see .kexi.sql files here instead of .kexi files. This make it easier
to track changes in the Subversion repository."

LOL
