There are three files that may be removed: package.json, tsconfig.json
and yarn.lock.  I was going to try to remove them, but am not going to
while "make distcheck" is broken (for an unrelated probem; see my other
mail on this list).

I believe these are all related to the npm package manager.
npm was originally used when this code was being developed.  I'm not
completely sure if npm can or should still be used here for updating
dependencies.
