Thanks. I forgot all about this.

Automake already deleted Makefile.in, but that was wrong.
And last night I changed it to delete more.
However I agree with you about what the GNU Coding Standards say. To
that end, I've reverted last night's change, removed the deletion of
Makefile.in, and added a comment in the right place so that we won't
forget and go through this again next year.
