The target leim-list.el depends on leim-ext.el, and we do
this at the end:

	sed -n '/^[^;]/ p' < ${srcdir}/leim-ext.el >> $@

So, when you modify leim-ext.el, leim-list.el is re-build,
but, if we don't remove leim-list.el at first, the contents
of leim-ext.el are duplicated.

In addition, update-leim-list-file works a little bit faster
when leim-list.el is vacant.

Do you actually find any problem with this change?
