Re: [evolution-patches] Patch to fix dist in help/C/

[Rodney Dawes <dobey novell com>]

I don't think this patch should go in. It doesn't solve anything. It
just changes the behaviour of the CLEAN rules on a pedantic level, and
the problem will appear again later, once the underlying problems are
actually solved, except it will just be the reverse pedantic problem.

The current behaviour in CVS is the correct thing to do for the current
tools and their bugs or misbehaviours.
