If you want tmpdir, --clean is what you want. Unless you mean in
tmpdir but preserved bw calls? Hm... That's a bit weird, but why
not, indeed.

Sure. And to Makefiles too. But this time its once for all.

We can try to have something like
/tmp/texi2dvi.akim/autoconf/pdf/...
/texinfo/pdf/...
but then again, what if I have several checkouts of these guys?
/tmp/texi2dvi.akim/$(m5d of the pwd for autoconf)/pdf/...
/$(m5d of the pwd for texinfo)/pdf/...
?
But that would be an additional behavior: AFAIC I really want to
preserve these guys in the builddir, just like regular .o etc.
