I do not know. Somehow they look like intermediate files from some
four year old script, but that does not matter.

That will probably be right, but I just look at the output of:

dpkg-deb -c gnucash-common_1.8.10-18_all.deb | grep acctlist
rpm -qpl gnucash-1.8.11-3.i386.rpm | grep acctlist
find $prefix/share/accounts/ -name 'acctlist*' (something is strange
  here, i have a broken link gnucash->../gnome, but hey, it works)

It is empty. So I really do not think they are good for anything.

accounts/C/Makefile :)
