I wasn't sure of the correct protocol: should clean-binPROGRAMS clean 
*everything* related to programs, or just the stuff that other rules 
wouldn't also catch?

Now that I think about it, probably the latter: you don't expect 
clean-binPROGRAMS to clean up all of the .o's and .lo's that were used 
to build the programs...so it makes sense to let clean-libtool handle 
the .libs/_libs subdirectory.

If this is accepted, I'd be perfectly happy.
