This target, however, is enabled by AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, in your configure.ac. It is disabled by default, and in its place are Makefile targets for automatically re-invoking the proper autotools and config.status when the relevant input files have changed. I typically keep around a "rm `find ...`" script for removing maintainer-files to that I don't have to configure-generate a Makefile before maintainer-cleaning, which is extremely rare (for me).
