Not all distclean targets remove the Makefile. Not all of us use Automake. The ability to remove autoconf-generated files in a subdirectory is still useful, at least to me. Usually for things like version-control operations or the like. But I'm guessing I probably won't be able to use the new support anyway, given the underlying assumptions, so it probably doesn't make a lot of difference. I just hope that the Autoconf documentation will describe the files that could potentially be created for those of us who will still need to write our own makefiles. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
