make clean isn't
make clean is leaving around a whole bunch of .o files... because Paul
changed it recently to not "rm *.o". Maybe it's just me because I tend to
change my Configuration so much. But I do find it messy.

How about "make clean" and "make reallyclean"?

No way! no make clean in Configure... I regularly edit Configuration,
re-Configure and do a "find . -name \*.o | xargs touch; rm modules.o". I
can't stand everything rebuilding when I just need to test another module.
So what happens to me is that I edit Configure like this a lot because I
test various module configs and various command line options, and so I end
up with turd .o files lying around.
Also the original PR that caused me to make that change to make clean (to
rm *.o) was that a fellow was using NFS mounted sourced and did a
"./Configure" on solaris, built, then went to IRIX "./Configure", make
clean, build... and I forget which file it was, but one of the .o files
stuck around and messed things up.

Well, ok, change it back then if you want. I understand the problem, but
think it is slightly nicer of Apache to leave .o files it doesn't know
about alone, just in case (say) people drop a third-party pre-compiled
module into a normal directory (like modules/standard) then when they try
to do a rebuild find it has been deleted.
Perhaps ./Configure should do a make clean first? :-) It forces a rebuild
of everything anyway!
