All of these are good goals, but there are at least three other ways to
achieve them:
1. _AC_EXTRA_CLEAN_FILES([configure.lineno autom4te.cache])
To be traced by automake.
2. AC_SUBST(ac_extra_clean_files, [configure.lineno autom4te.cache])
To be added to DISTCLEANFILES in automake-generated makefiles.
3. {configure,config.status} --print-extra-clean-files
Not very pretty, but you get the idea.
The advantages of all of these solutions is that they are simple to
implement for both Autoconf and Automake, they don't gratuitiously change
current makefile-writing practice, and they don't move makefile jobs into
autoconf.
