There is a subtle difference though: make clean removes stuff you tell
it to remove while make distclean removes everything you dont tell it to
keep. When adding new files, make distclean can be disastrous.

Looking back at Andrew Hughes' email, stuff not removed by 'make clean'
is included in .hgignore.
