The situation used to be that this only caused ecpg to be out-of-sync.
No big deal. But nowadays it might break compilation. If you add a new
keyword to keywords.c but not to preproc.y you'll get an undefined
symbol during build process.

To make sure stuff like this cannot happen in the future I'd prefer to
have the script run automatically, albeit having a defined, but maybe
non-functional, default.
