First of all thanks to Jim and Otavio for the suggestions.

Here is what I plan to do:

a. Find out whether 'make distclean' restores the whole thing to the
same state as the distribution tarball. If not then add the necessary
things to the DISTCLEANFILES variable in the respective Makefile.am.

b. Use MAINTAINERCLEANFILES to create the 'make maintainer-clean'
target so that we have something similar to 'git clean -d'. This would
be helpful to someone who is tinkering with the distribution tarball
on a system where git is absent.

What do you think?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
