How trouble?
Presumably if one says "make clean" or "make distclean", they know what
they're doing, and what they want.
I'd just suggest adding "core.*" and "*.core" to the rules, and be done
with it. It's not like any such filenames should appear in the dist-
ribution.
BTW, does UnixWare allow one to alter the core-file naming convention?
FreeBSD 3.x does, via a sysctl(8) string value (though unfortunately,
2-2.x-whatever, such as we have here at Best, does not).
