No, I didn't miss it. IMHO "make distclean" should remove every file
created by configure --- that would include any specialized "CONFIGURE"
output file you might want it to create. So there's no advantage to
having that over the existing config.status output file.
If you don't want to lose the configure outputs then do "make clean",
not "make distclean".
