Actually I don't understand this equivalence. Makefiles routinely come
with targets like "clean" which presumably deletes files like .log/.o
and of course "install". If they could have a few extra targets, like
"superclean" or "EnglishOnly", that's a few extra lines. Why is that
comparable with the clutter of tens of MB and 100's of files scattered
around? If you can have "make install", why not "make uninstall" which
would merely remove all the installed files and links?
