While I agree with the sentiment, let's please NOT nuke the
distfiles and tarballs. That's what make distclean is for. I've got
the disk space for the distfiles, and I want them there so that I
can get them more quickly onto all my other machines. I still want
to be able to make clean a package if I think local modifications
are causing some brokenness in the build of that package (and,
anyway, we make clean after make install by default these days, no?).
