The first comment line fortells of patch 6 which can generate this .h
file.

The Huh? was about that one, not about reuse.  I do not want to see
a build artifact kept in the history without a good reason.

I'd copied it from generate-cmdlist.sh which is a common-cmd.h
dependency and was introduced by

Looking at the change again, I do not see us adding a build artifact
(in the case of that patch, common-cmd.h) to our history.  Only the
recipe to generate that file exists there, which is the right thing
to do.

Why do we want common-guides.h which is clearly marked as "A
generated file" at its top in our history?  That was what made me
say "Huh?".
