I see. Well, it's possible I'm just misusing EXTRA_PROGRAMS: I'm trying to 
build a program that is not to be installed, and is not a check program: 
it's a program I need to build the program that is installed. I list it as a 
prereq of a source file, which is how it gets built before the program it 
helps to build.

Is there some other target that would be better to use whose output is 
removed by make clean?
