Use "make distclean", which I think is the GNU standard for that.
(Don't know where the Linux folks got "mrproper" from.)

Yes, that is what works for me. But I agree that the fact that "configure"
alone seems to work, and then make fails when it can't find the headers, is
a bad thing. I think the "other" Pgtcl project has it default to using
pg_config to get the values, which is much better. Assuming pg_config is
in your PATH. I have a new release of pgtclng almost ready, with
event-driven asynchronous queries, and I will see if I can improve the
default configure behavior.

Yes it would be very nice. As it stands now, it will happily make the
library even with missing dependencies. But I don't know how to fix
that. Know of anything autoconf-based that detects this situation?
