It looks like I didn't make myself clear. This generator isn't needed
to compile freeciv. It is needed to generate code. It only need to be
called if you change something on the input-file
(packet_info.in). This happens if you add/remove a field or packet. It
is the same case as with perl in the common/create_lsend.pl script.
