[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#653366: fails to build twice in a row

[Andy Loening]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the note. Those files are generated automatically by the 
gtk-doc-scan scripts - in this case at some point back in 2007. The 
build process related to this was copied from the gtk library source 
tree. In any case, I don't see why those files need to hang around, and 
updated the makefile to clean them out.
