Actually, I think it might make sense to apply the first two patches
to maint (after the 1.13.1 bug-fixing release is out).  This should
be OK, since the change itself is very unobtrusive and no possible
source of bugs (Murphy spare me for having said so :-).  In addition,
having this new option earlier will allow a proper deprecation of the
old CLEANFILES hack, so that its final removal in Automake 1.14 won't
be too abrupt.

Opinions, objections?
