Are you compiling with Windows or some other platform?  There is a project.h 
file which is under the VS folders, but I believe the .in file is used for *nix 
compilation?  Sorry, I may have more time to figure it out later, but from 
looking through source control I think both are required and likely correct.

project.h is a file created at configure-time and stores various project meta 
information for use in the API. it defines various macros used to identify 
mp4v2 version, some strings for official project name, spelling, etc.

for *nix you need not ever check this file in anywhere. it is always generated 
by configure using input file project.h.in the source (repository) and 
project.h is generated, which is placed in the build (output) tree. create an 
empty build dir, run configure, and examine the files produced. project.h will 
be there.

except vstudio (MSVC) builds are a bit of a headache in that configure is not 
used on that platform. however, project.h is still required. thus in the past 
the hack is to generate project.h on unix every once in a while, and overwrite 
vstudio9.0's copy with the latest project.h -- vstudio9.0's IDE configuration 
is setup to search it's include dir.

Resolving, this is by design.
