Good point. I added a note about that.

I think it does work in kexec-tools-testing, but its called dist-clean
not distclean.  And there is maintainer-clean, which is even more
thorough.  We could add distclean and maintainerclean which call their
"-" variants if we want to.

On the other hand, the build system is a bit funny, so it is possible
the targets aren't working as you suggest.

+To build kexec-tools
+
+1. If ./configure deosn't exist, create it
+
+   # autoconf
+
+   If you obtain kexec-tools from a released tarball, you can ommit this
+   step.  If on the other hand you obtain kexec-tools from git or some
+   other revision control system, then you will probably need to do this. 
+
+2. Run ./configure [--prefix=/usr/local] [options]...
+
+   e.g.
+   # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+
+   For a full list of options run
+
+   # ./configure --help
+
+3. Run make
+
+   # make
+
+To install kexec-tools
+
+   After following the above instructions to build-kexec tools, run
+
+   # make install
