hm. the generated import-fdi-quirkdb should never have shipped. Either
way, configuring and remaking the source should fix it.

Other than that, the only documentation for import-fdi-quirkdb is
reading the fine source and/or git log src/import-fdi-quirkdb.in

Ah, I never run make dist.  I always use make distcheck.or make distclean.

Either way, it is present right now to aid the transition away from
HAL.  It will be gone in the next release.
