In a mature project, any changes to the Makefile usually mean you want
to rebuild.  Adding files is not something you do a lot, once the
baseline is established, and even if you do, "make -t" will prevent
the old targets from being rebuilt unnecessarily.

In addition, "make clean" might be dangerous, if it removes files
which are a pain to recreate (since "make clean" is not something
people do very often, it might be buggy).
