Fair enough. The thought was that most autoconfiscated packages
support
./configure
make clean
make
make install
since "make clean" does not remove the generated Makefile. But the
patch was incomplete anyway, since it did not keep config.mak.append
around.

Hmm, isn't the usual scheme something like
- "make clean" undoes the effect of "make"
- "make distclean" removes all generated files that are not common
to everyone
- "make maintainer-clean" removes all generated files
?
