Comment (by claus):

 thanks, but i'm on windows, and
 {{{
 $ darcs changes utils/lndir/lndir.c

 and i rather like the idea of asking darcs which files it doesn't know
 about. of course, 'make darcsclean' should only clean files that configure
 or make can regenerate, not files which users added.

 which reminds me: current distclean also deletes more files than it
 should, using wildcards when specifying *_CLEAN_FILES. that way, it once
 deleted a pre-patch test.log i kept for comparison with post-patch build.
 so distclean should not only have better coverage, it should also be more
 accurate.
