I believe that I forgot to read the word "option". But that would mean that we would still have to choose one of the two other alternatives for users who did not want the option. Also, as I already pointed out, I do not believe that the option would solve the most common present problems with `make bootstrap' without `make maintainer-clean', even for those users who might choose to use the option.
