Details:

If I do 'make maintainer-clean' followed by 'hg stat -u > u.list' to get a
list of the unknown files not tracked by Mercurial, I find three directories
of files.

./t2d_cache
./doc/interpreter/octave.t2d
./doc/interpreter/octave.t2p

If I go back to the stable branch, I find that there was a local rule for the
doc/interpreter directory


clean-local:
        rm -rf t2d_cache


   The new build system doesn't appear to use '-local' rules so this seems to
have been lost.


The octave.t2d and octave.t2p directories seem to be related to calling
texi2dvi and texi2pdf.  See this discussion
(http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Building-documentation-in-parallel-td4643470.html)
and the changeset that is referenced in the discussion.  It seems that the
change to the definitions of the build variables TEXI2DVI and TEXI2PDF in
m4/acinclude.m4 are no longer being recognized.
