Sorry for the silence.  I agree with Taral, and will create a patch that 
follows the GNU automake heuristic that Taral referred to 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Clean.html).  Of 
course, following those rules, within a repository Context.hs is built 
by "make", so by the first two rules either "mostlyclean" or "clean" 
should remove it.  But outside of a repo it is not re-built, so then it 
falls in the maintainer-built category, and "maintainer-clean" should 
delete it.

I'll document that decision in the patch.

Coming right up.

Groetjes,
