MAINTAINERCLEANFILES worked perfectly; thanks.

Yes, but that rule of thumb is at odds with another rule of thumb: "Never
commit generated files to a source code repository." And considering that
"autoreconf -i" does a perfect job of regenerating all of the files I listed,
I'm willing to break the GCS rule. Besides, I'm the only developer on this
little project, so nobody will care but me. :)
