After searching the entire source tree, I concluded those vimrc and config.log files are from somebody on the Trinity team.... :) My clues are the vimrc files are exactly the same (same person) and the config.log files all include references to /opt/trinity. I don't use vim and I'm paranoid about working directly within the source tree (I always make copies). I counted 16 config.log files and three vimrc files. Not many. I'll purge them.
Excellent work -- and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We need somebody with autofoo and libtool experience to come up with a list of UNNEEDED files that are leftovers so we can just remove the remainder of the garbage as well.
When I try and learn how these things works, having old build files in the tree just provides more rabbit trails for me to follow. If I were more knowledgeable on how this stuff worked, then I could help with the list, but when i look at dirs full of .in .in.in .in.in.h, etc..... I don't know what's old what's new, etc.. I've read about the process and have a feel for it, but not good enough to know 'ah hah!' this piece of autofoo is a leftover and not used.
Not a high priority, but I'll try and keep documenting what I find.
