Details:

The following files are part of the source distribution tarball, but are
deleted when the "clean" target is executed. This leaves the user with fewer
files than were there when the source was unpacked:

  * libinterp/builtin-defun-decls.h
  * libinterp/corefcn/graphics-props.cc
  * libinterp/corefcn/oct-tex-lexer.cc
  * libinterp/corefcn/oct-tex-parser.cc
  * libinterp/corefcn/oct-tex-symbols.cc
  * libinterp/parse-tree/lex.cc
  * libinterp/parse-tree/oct-gperf.h
  * libinterp/parse-tree/oct-parse.cc
  * libinterp/parse-tree/oct-parse.h
  * scripts/java/octave.jar

And the following set of files are similarly deleted when the "distclean"
target is executed, again leaving the user with fewer files than we gave them
in the source tarball:

  * ChangeLog
  * doc/interpreter/*.texi
  * libinterp/DOCSTRINGS
  * oct-conf-post.h
  * scripts/DOCSTRINGS

Ideally, the "distclean" target should return the user to the same set of
files that were there when the tarball was unpacked. I plan to look at this,
just documenting what I've found so far.
