for example, an autotools old-timer that has run:

    ./configure --prefix /opt/git

in the past, without running "make distclean" afterwards, would
expect a "make install" issued after a "make clean" to rebuild and
install git in '/opt/git';
I've been hit by that behavior once. Thanks for fixing it. The patch
looks good.
Should I add "Acked-by: Matthieu Moy" then?
Given that we see nothing in the ouptut from

 $ git shortlog --no-merges --author='Matthieu Moy' -- Makefile configure.ac

that remotely relates to the current state of affairs in this area,
I do not think we can say Matthieu _owns_ autoconf-related part of
the code in any way, so I do not think it is needed.

Thanks.
