| Okay, I did.  I also got motivated and made the whole kit and kiboodle work,
| right down to the clean targets.
| 
| I got partway through making generic am_(MOSTLY|DIST)?CLEANFILES variables
| that could be added to using `+=' like RECURSIVE_TARGETS, but I couldn't get
| it to work right and gave up.  It shouldn't be too hard to finish that if
| variable_pretty_output worked correctly from handle_clean.  I couldn't get it
| to - which is probably my fault.
| 
| I did notice something strange while working on this.  I didn't test it, but
| it looks like info targets can only be created in leaf dirs - or rather, not
| when SUBDIRS has any content.
| 
| Let me know if you need anything else.

I like your patch, thanks!  Do you have write access?

But the documentation and NEWS bits are lacking.  Also, I confess I
don't understand why, if on the one hand, you define
am_info_CLEANstuff, then, on the other hand, mostlyclean-aminfo is not
simplified.  AFAICS, it still contains hard coded things, right?
