automake-1.7.5 maintainer-clean vs. autom4te.cache

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

1.7.5 generates a "maintainer-clean"-rule that tries to remove
autom4te.caches from the build-directory, only.

>From an arbitrary automake-generated Makefile.in:
...
maintainer-clean: maintainer-clean-am
        -rm -f $(am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES)
        -rm -rf autom4te.cache
...

This fails to remove autom4te.caches for VPATH builds
(srcdir!=builddir).

To fix this, I am proposing the patch to 1.7.x below 

Ralf
