.. and of course keep DL_DIR

so, to come back to my initial proposal

# wipe target and staging dirs (think %-uninstall):
clean:
# remove generated files, retain: configs and DL_DIR, {m,}conf{,.o}, host-*:
realclean:
# remove generated files, including configs {m,}conf host-* (but not DL_DIR!):
# think git clean -d -x
distclean:
# make a release tarball; see how existing DL_DIR does not matter:
dist release: FOO=buildroot VERS=1.2.3
	git archive --prefix $(FOO)-$(VERS) HEAD | tee >(bzip2>$(FOO).tar.bz2) >(gzip>$(FOO).tar.gz) | xv>$(FOO).tar.xv
