The scsh 0.4.3 top level makefile executes a "find" to remove tilde
backup files when a user executes "make clean".  GNU programs do not
do this -- they reserve another target, probably "distclean", for that
purpose.

I usually FTP something from the net and then have to modify it slightly
to get everything to work.  I do not like it when by Emacs backup files
are deleted -- I like to keep them around a a record of what files I
have changed.
