Re: Patch proposal: Add --clean options to unbootstrap a project.

Alright so here is the new (hopefully final) patch for autoconf.  It  
addresses the problems raised so far and provides autom4te with a  
--clean flag (documented in the .texi) that removes the cache  
directory (unless it is an absolute path).  I have carefully reviewed  
the ChangeLog entry and I think I didn't omit anything this time.   
Sorry for getting this wrong last time, I'm used to have this all  
automated but for SVN only (btw, are you guys ever going to migrate?   
CVS is getting a bit old these days :D)

About the change in autom4te, since I'm not a Perl-portability expert  
I don't know whether it was a good idea to use  
`File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute ($cache)'.  If this is a problem we  
can probably do something similar with a regexp such as the one  
described in the Autoconf manual.

No other big change beside that since the last version of the patch.

I'm going to use quilt too (thanks Gary for mentionning this wonderful  
tool.  It's going to change my life).

I'm going to send the revised patch for Automake just after this email.

Cheers,
