14 years agoImproved test silent5.test.

Improved test silent5.test.

* tests/silent5.test: Remove by hand all generated C files after
non-verbose builds, to ensure the following builds are clean.
Try to clean and rebuild with the same verbosity and without
removing generated sources in between, to check that this does
not trigger a different set of rules.  Make grepping of make's
output stricter.  Improved/added some comments.
