should .po files be cleaned?

[Ben Pfaff]

po/automake.mk has this:
        CLEANFILES += $(POFILES) $(GMOFILES) $(POTFILE)

Aren't $(POFILES) source files that we should preserve?
(especially if "configure" is run in the source tree)

You are right.  POFILES should only be removed if the builddir is
distinct from the srcdir.  If they are not removed from the builddir, then
make distcheck  will complain.
