No reason at all. I always though it was a bit redundant. None of the
other files will be installed to the binary or end up on the user's
system. In fact, having that stuff in the source package is probably a
good thing as it would contain the complete one-canvas source SVGs. We
could even add render_bitmap.py to the build process so that the
package it truly "built from source."

We should do go ahead and do this after the release...
