[ I know it's not really related but anyway: ] Let me disagree here. Removing those files in 99% of my cases does nothing better than significantly lengthen to time to get a working system. Yes, `bootstrap-clean' (which I'd call `spotless' or `cvsclean' since it's not only used for bootstrapping purposes) should remove those files, but not `bootstrap'. If people want to use `bootstrap' to get a "fully clean build", they should first do a `bootstrap-clean' explicitly. Stefan
