Definitively yes! Makefile compiles every file, and configure touches
every Makefile so there is no chance that a file can escape this check. If
a file is lost someway, "make" will ends telling you that a file is
missing.

If you browse the CVS and look for dotcard.c and outitf.c, click on the
most recent revision number, you will get the source of the file. A simple
cut and paste into an editor, will be sufficient. If you want to learn
cvs, look at /usr/share/doc/cvsbook and download the ps.
