Oh, that's _much_ nicer. I didn't even think of that - nice!

I'm ambivalent. 'make extraclean' is supposed to take us back to pristine
(prior to autogen.sh), so in theory we should blow them away; but on
the other hand, you point out a valid reason to keep them. (Though note
that ./autogen.sh re-runs gen-make.py [and therefore overwrites
gen-make.opts] anyway, so you'll have to be careful if you did want to
retain gen-make.opts for a later run.)
Hm, while we're here, I think that all the 'make extraclean' targets
need to be prefixed with $(top_srcdir), because currently it'll fail
for VPATH builds (though the concept of 'make extraclean' is a bit dubious
for a VPATH build anyway, I guess).

Actually, in extraclean, we should probably just remove _all_ the
directories that 'make mkdir-init' can create (and that are also empty),
because that way we'd clear up VPATH builds completely. Perhaps we should
create a 'rmdir-init' companion to 'mkdir-init'?
