Old build system broken

[Richard Eisenberg]

Some discussion on IRC with @Ericson2314 reveals that make maintainer-clean is not deleting settings files, which cause this bug. If you do a fresh checkout and build, the problem should go away. It's also possible that deleting inplace/lib/settings manually (and then running ./configure) may also fix it.
