That's not exactly a horrible failure mode. People can just add it to the list of files to clean. Or you could go with the minimal working change here, namely an output variable that contains the list of files that may be created by configure. The important part is to somewhere document the list of files that configure can create so that people who don't want to use Automake can add them to the makefile rules that they prefer to maintain by hand. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
