I wouldn't bother.

 - Git is for all plain sources.
 - A distribution tarball should contain all files from git plus
   auto-generated ones. This is intended for users who just want to
   build wireshark without doing modifications to the auto-generated
   files. If wanted, they could still regenerate autogenerated files.

autotools should be able to generate that tarball, I am not so sure about cmake.

Developers build WS from git anyway and should have the tools ready to generate files. If the tools are not available, 
then that part can simply be disabled. That would save compile time too :-)


Kind regards,
Peter

Not that that effectively disqualifies Windows as a development platform, at least one that is easy to use by directly 
checking out from git and building....
