Was there a reason that the new "distclean" was not combined with
"chained dependency cleaning"? If not, I'm sure a patch can be
cooked-up easily enough... As it is, I think it's somewhat
confusing that distclean uses "chained dependency cleaning", but
is not itself chained.
[A brief jaunt through the list archives turned-up nothing other
than a reminder that we still don't have what is possibly the
most-requested feature --- `make size' :-]
