two mistakes here:

"make maintainer-clean" doesn't clean most of the generated files.
It doesn't clean configure, nor Makefile.in's, nor aclocal.m4.
If your project contains a lex or yacc source, then maintainer-clean
does clean the generated *.c sources.  In short, foreget about
maintainer-clean.

Second, maintainer-clean has nothing to do with AM_MAINTAINER_MODE.
And maintainer-clean is always available, as it is required by the
GNU Coding Standards.

(And, as I said in my post to another sub-thread, forget about
AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, too.)

Have a nice day,
