-While `make distclean` will remove most generated files and leave you
-in a state as though you just unpacked a dist, it is sometimes useful
-to remove even more files. For this purpose there exists a target
-`svn-clean` that will remove all files not under subversion control,
-in other words, leave you in a state as though you checked out a
-pristine subversion working copy. The target is not active by default,
-but can be turned on with `./configure --enable-svn-support`. Use with
-care!
+If you are building from an svn wc, you may run '`configure`' with
+option '`--enable-svn-support`' to turn on some extra make
+targets. Most of the targets are useful at release time, i.e.,
+probably not very useful for other developers than the release
+manager. See '`build_support/svn_support.am`' for more details.
