I'm reluctant to implement this because many of the targets automake
generates are implementation details. If I had thought ahead (back in
'96, say), I would have been more careful about reserving a namespace
so that internal targets would be more obviously private.
For instance, `distclean-hdr' is an implementation detail. You can't
really rely on its name staying the same from release to release.
All you really can rely on are the targets we publicize, like `all'.
