 * Was there a reason that the new "distclean" was not combined with
 * "chained dependency cleaning"?  If not, I'm sure a patch can be
 * cooked-up easily enough...  

Well, I for one would be mighty upset if I type "make distclean" in
/usr/ports/net/tclplugin and lose the netscape tarball.... ;)

 * 			       As it is, I think it's somewhat
 * confusing that distclean uses "chained dependency cleaning", but
 * is not itself chained.

Good point.  I always thought "distclean" calling "clean" is sort of
unclean.  (Pardon the pun.)  Can we perhaps disassociate distclean and 
clean?

 * [A brief jaunt through the list archives turned-up nothing other
 * than a reminder that we still don't have what is possibly the
 * most-requested feature --- `make size' :-]

Patches please? :)

Satoshi
