Hm, as far as I interpret

,----[ (info "(make)Standard Targets") ]
| `distclean'
|      Delete all files from the current directory that are created by
|      configuring or building the program.  If you have unpacked the
|      source and built the program without creating any other files,
|      `make distclean' should leave only the files that were in the
|      distribution.
`----

the distclean target should not delete autom4te.cache.

Before I have to throw it away and because it has been waiting for
several weeks in my working directory, here is what I'd propose for
AUCTeX's Makefile.in:

This is not far from your implementation.  The names CLEANFILES and
DISTCLEANFILES are derived from automake, see (info "(automake-1.8)Clean").
