This historical behaviour is indeed annoying. Note that distclean only
deletes the DL_DIR if it is set to the default ("$(BASE_DIR)/dl"). I
usually set it to $(BASE_DIR)/down due to this slightly inconvenient
behaviour.
Changing this behaviour is easy, but how should DL_DIR be cleaned-out?
make dl-clean?
Suggestions for a better name for the target?
