oetiker/remOcular — Issue #2: Won't 'build' as-is; .gitignore possibly to blame

When I checkout the code via git, and attempt to build it, I run into a problem: ./configure works fine, but 'make' does not:

Making all in frontend
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ttelford/src/remocular/remOcular/frontend'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ttelford/src/remocular/remOcular/frontend'
Making all in backend
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ttelford/src/remocular/remOcular/backend'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `public/script/remocular.js', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ttelford/src/remocular/remOcular/backend'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

It appears that the git repository doesn't have backend/public.

.gitignore has backend/public listed, which is probably why it's not in git.

The question is: Should backed/public be in the git repo? If not, how is it generated?
