Perhaps, although another alternative is to do "make distclean", which
gets rid of *all* the "config.cache" files, not just the top-level one.

(That's actually a common convention - "Makefile.in"s created by
automake do that, and libpcap and tcpdump, at least, also do it even
though they don't use automake.)
