Yes, that might be better.  But I have no idea why exactly the different 
clean-related targets were introduced; perhaps this is related to some 
GNU conventions or something.  So I thought I'd just send this patch, 
and see if someone else knows more.

For example, I'm not sure what the intended meaning/semantics is of 
'realclean' and 'distclean'.  Is 'distclean' just intended for use in 
'make dist'?  And should 'make clean' remove Context.hs?  I think it 
should, but perhaps someone who knows more about Makefile conventions 
can give a more autoritative opinion.
