The "mrproper" tag is being used all over the place
to remove most of configuration and compilation related

"distclean" calls at first "mrproper", and then does some
additional cleanups, like various editor backup files.
Thus "distclean" does more than "mrproper".
Deeper understanding is available to those who read the top-level
"Makefile" file. ;-) (Presuming they understand makefile.)
