`make clean' should not delete such core files, since `make' does not create
them. It is appropriate for `configure' to delete `conftest.kp' that may remain
after a failed test, and it can do this unconditionally.
There is no general facility designed to augment the clean rule on a platform-
or site-specific basis.
