According to [Automake manual section 13 What Gets Cleaned](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Clean.html) we must not remove files necessary for `./configure`.

As far as I can tell from testing, make distclean + PR #220 leaves behind only files generated by `autoreconf` so we should not remove any of them. It would prevent users from running `configure` again.
