Notice that the config files are not removed because when you initially
type make, make distclean depend is run first.  If distclean removed the
config files, (and you can test this by making your local Makefile
remove them) then MPlayer would not compile in its current state.

So either leave it the way it is, or change it so that distclean removes
everything and distclean is not called automatically anymore.  Perhaps
if thes is the road you want, you can keep the old behavior by changing
clean to behave like distclean does now, use clean depend on version.h
changes, and change distclean to call clean and then kill all the config
files as well.

What does everyone think of these options?

Thanks,
