Isn't `config.status --clean' expected to clean only the files
created by `config.status'?  I don't think that's its job to
remove `autom4te.cache'.

There have been a few (hmm, at least one) requests on the
Autoconf ML to rename `autom4te.cache' and prepend a dot to hide
it.  Maybe Akim should settle here.  At worse, Automake would
have to clean several directories if this is done.
