Hmm, we can't distribute the *.x files because they may depend on
configure time options (like Dirk has experienced), and we don't
create them during configure time. Thus, I think we should remove
them with "make clean". Any objections?
The main problem as I see it is that the *.x files contain
pre-processed source code, which is making them just as
machine-dependent as *.o files (because they have things like CHAR_BIT
expanded in them). As long as that is the case, I think we should
remove *.x files at the same time as *.o files.
