make distclean on modules removes version controlled files

Hi, I'm having some issues with the modules support and building. See tracker: http://tracker.xemacs.org/XEmacs/its/issue843 The problem is that if you use "make distclean" version controlled files in the modules like "configure" will be deleted. If you do that as part of working with a patch you might get the deletion as part of it when you "hg qrefresh" your workspace. Not good. (This happens to me all the time :-() I've now looked at it again and from the README in the modules folder it seems like there is support for building the modules on its own or for building it while building XEmacs itself. So it seems like the local version controlled files do have a purpose. I suggest in the issutracker that we should delete the offending files. That would then make building the modules separately impossible. Would that initial idea be OK or do I need to come up with another plan? Any ideas in that case?
