#6 No clean run of 'make clean'

[Rolf Ebert]

When running "make clean" the Makefile issues a

for s in doc src; do \
  make -w -C $s clean; \
done

which fails in the src directory as there is no 'clean' target.

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/re/Devel/adequate/tools/ews/doc'
rm -rf .build
rm ews_demo ews_htdocs.*
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/re/Devel/adequate/tools/ews/doc'
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/re/Devel/adequate/tools/ews/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'clean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/re/Devel/adequate/tools/ews/src'
Makefile:112: recipe for target 'clean' failed

This patch solves the problem:

Thanks for this!

The actual cause of this was an equivalent omission in src/Makefile.dist, which is copied into the distribution's src/Makefile.

I've made a new release (I had several uncommitted tidy-up changes, from 2015, oops): 20190305.
