Anything in ../bin is put there by "make install".

Actually, cmdproxy.exe is copied to bin by `make bootstrap', since (according to a comment in the makefile) it needs it during the bootstrap process.

I'm pretty sure make
maintainer-clean doesn't uninstall installed executables on other platforms
either, but then those platforms will also have installed copies of
other things that maintainer-clean does delete. Also if cmdproxy.exe is
the only file left in ../bin, then that seems more like a buggy
oversight than deliberately leaving the installed files alone.

OK. What about the site-lisp directory? Is it safe to delete it too or could the user have files in it that he does not want to loose?
