Yeah. Those files aren't part of the bash distribution, and so they get
cleaned. I left them there the last couple of pushes because I wanted
people to get a look at the documentation updates I made. It was easier
for me than splitting the files between the bash and readline devel
branches.

It's a file configure creates, just like config.h, so it gets cleaned
with `make distclean'. I should add it to .gitignore, I suppose.
