Kuang and others,
We were aware of the fact that distclean did not truly clean the libedit stuff,
and the following line is in the Readme.buildsac:
% make distclean > /dev/null - Removes configuration files as well. Must
run make clean first.
I forget if Brian had a reason for not making a fix in the Makefile. We'll look
at your patch.
