If you're using Automake, then you should be able to use the
"clean-local" target.  For example, here's what I do in one of my C++
packages:

## Clean up template repositories, etc.
clean-local:
        -rm -rf .rpo ptrepository SunWS_cache Templates.DB

The clean-local target will automatically be invoked when doing a
"make clean."  BTW, this is documented in the Automake documentation.
