Subject: A more radical cleanup for make bootstrap?

Now Stefan M and Po Lu both said (IIUC) that what they'd like is a 
bootstrap that does a less radical cleanup than what bootstrap now does. 
And (again IIUC) Eli and you (and others) agree that bootstrap should 
start with a state that is as clean as possible (which is what extraclean 
does).

So what I'd suggest is to use extraclean in bootstrap, and add either 
another target like "soft-bootstrap" or a configuration variable like 
"SOFT=true" that would make a less radical cleanup than what 
bootstrap-cleanup now does.

Would that be a solution that is acceptable to everyone?
