+When cleaning involves more than deleting some hard-coded list of
+files, it is also possible to supplement the cleaning rules with your
+own commands. Simply define a rule for any of the
address@hidden, @code{clean-local}, @code{distclean-local},
+or @code{maintainerclean-local} targets (@pxref{Extending}). A common
+case is deleting a directory, for instance a directory created by the
+test suite:

address@hidden
