I'd just discovered this, too, but there is a further problem with `make
clean' (didn't try make distclean), in that there's a dependency in Makemod
to remake it every times it's used (or at least that's what GNU make does
when it sees the effect of

Makemod: Makemod.in

inside Makemod).  Hence make clean always tries to make Makemod even when
it's only used via `make -f Makemod' and doesn't appear as a dependency in
Makefile.  I thought maybe the solution was to remove Makemod and
Makemod.in after `make clean', since they get made by make rather than
configure.  But maybe there's a better way.
