According to the documentation in nt/INSTALL, `make maintainer-clean' is 
supposed to "Remove everything that can be recreated, including compiled 
lisp files, to get back to the state of a fresh Bazaar tree."

Running `mingw32-make maintainer-clean' on Windows 7, GnuWin32 and MinGW 
does not seem to do exactly that.

Per Juanma's suggestion I ran

bzr clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus --force

and it produced the following output:

deleting paths:
  bin
  site-lisp
  admin/unidata/makefile
  lisp/cedet/ede/loaddefs.el~
  lisp/cedet/semantic/loaddefs.el~
  lisp/cedet/srecode/loaddefs.el~

This was right after a `mingw32-make maintainer-clean'.

The bin/ directory still contained the following files: cmdproxy.exe
The site-lisp/ directory contained: subdirs.el

`make realclean' deletes ../bin eventually. Shouldn't `maintainer-clean' 
do the same if it claims to restore the fresh tree checkout?

I believe this report is not relevant any more,
eg w32-specific makefiles were removed some time ago.
