[PATCH v2 6/7] build: "make clean" should not remove configure-generated files

2012-07-19 Thread Stefano Lattarini
Those filed hold variables, settings and information set by the configuration process run by './configure'; in Autotools-based build system that kind of stuff should only be removed by "make distclean". Having it removed by "make clean" is not only inconsistent, but causes real confusion for that
