pike -x module spotless

Hi,

It seems "pike -x module spotless" is not so spotless after all.

It leaves both "configure" and "autom4te.cache" in the module
source directory.

I think that spotless is supposed to leave configure, isn't it? 
autom4te.cache is cruft left over by newer versions of autoconf. I suppose 
it might be worth adding that to the makefile. Wonder if it's small enough 
of a change to get into 7.8 before it goes out the door?

I'm not sure about the policy, but configure is generated from configure.in
at compile.

My thinking is that configure is something that you'd want to keep for 
distribution, even though it's a generated file (as there are great 
differences from one version of autoconf to another).
