`maintainer-clean' removes getopt.h.

 From lib/makefile:

maintainer-clean: distclean
	- $(DEL) getopt_.h

When I run `make bootstrap' after that, this is executed:

getopt_.h-CMD: doit
	@echo getopt.in.h or $(ARG_NONNULL_H) is newer than getopt_.h.
	@echo Run "$(MAKETYPE) getopt_h" in the lib/ subdirectory.
	@echo You will need GNU Sed to be installed.
	exit -1

I know it's usually a one time thing, but when I have sed installed it 
shouldnt abort there but just regenerate it automatically.
