Well, my patch just updated the _AM_PROG_CC_C_O autoconf macro, so I
guess that .dSYM bundles still need to be added to the default list of
files that get cleaned? They get created alongside executables, so
whichever of the "clean" rules (mostlyclean, clean, distclean,
maintainer-clean, etc.) that executables get cleaned up during, any
.dSYM bundles whose names start the same should also get cleaned
during that same step... Kinda busy with political stuff at the
moment, but I'll take a look once I get a chance...
