But, there's no such target in ./Makefile.in (top level).
lisp/Makefile.in and nt/makefile.nt have it.
src/Makefile.in has "bootstrapclean" instead.  Do you mean
that we should add that target in ./Makefile.in.

In ./Makefile.in, we already have these targets.

# make clean  or  make mostlyclean
#      Delete all files from the current directory that are normally
#      created by building the program.  Don't delete the files that
#      record the configuration.  Also preserve files that could be made
#      by building, but normally aren't because the distribution comes
#      with them.
#
#      Delete `.dvi' files here if they are not part of the distribution.
#
# make distclean
#      Delete all files from the current directory that are created by
#      configuring or building the program.  If you have unpacked the
#      source and built the program without creating any other files,
#      `make distclean' should leave only the files that were in the
#      distribution.
#
# make maintainer-clean
#      Delete everything from the current directory that can be
#      reconstructed with this Makefile.  This typically includes
#      everything deleted by distclean, plus more: C source files
#      produced by Bison, tags tables, info files, and so on.
#
# make extraclean
#      Still more severe - delete backup and autosave files, too.

It seems that maintainer-clean is the best target to make
the directory the same as just after we do "cvs co".
