Ganesh sent me this patch during our discussion ca. 12 hours ago,
which means that "make clean" will resolve this issue.  I approve of
it, as 1) it only adds one line of cruft; and 2) it can be rolled back
in a month or two if we are still using makefiles at that time.

Eric, could you apply this patch to unstable?

  * clean up .lhs versions of ThisVersion and Autoconf to make transition easier
