I've committed a correction to the path of svn_private_config.*, and made
changes so that configure substitutes an automatically generated list of
files generated by SVN_CONFIG_SCRIPT into Makefile.

I've left out the addition of gen-make.opts and config.nice, because it is
possible that their omission is deliberate, not accidental, as after a
clean, you might well want to reconfigure with your saved build settings.

Do you (and anyone else reading this thread) think that gen-make.opts and
config.nice should be retained, due to the above possible usage, or cleaned,
so that the cleaning is total?

This means the remaining files not handled are:

That's fair - I don't build the javahl bindings either - let's leave that
matter up to those with experience in that area.

Yes, compiled python bytecode. They are harmless, so I'm not really
concerned about them, but I think extraclean would probably be a reasonable
place to delete them from.
