They are no *.opic or *.so in this subdir, so no need to clean them.

The TEST* variables doesn't seems to be used anywhere, and they weren't
used by xen.git when introduced.
Both CLIENTS_* variables aren't used.
Both target "print-dir" and "print-end" only exist in this directory
and are probably not used anywhere.

Can we collapse this to $(RM) *.o $(CLIENTS) $(DEPS_RM) ?

Here and in plenty of subsequent patches, there's manipulation of raw
`rm -f`'s which ought to be cleaned up to $(RM)

I can fix this on commit if you're happy.

About using $(RM) or `rm -f`, I don't think we need to care if one or
the other is used in Makefiles, they needs to be equivalent or things
are going to fails. GNU make manual says that `rm` should exist,
especially when things like autoconf are used. For example our
./configure scrips is using `rm -f` and I don't think we can configure
that. So having RM configurable doesn't really serve any purpose.

Beyond that, using $(RM) is good in order to be consistent, and changing
"rm -f" to "$(RM)" is fine, I might not doing it myself or ask for it.

For the avoidance of doubt, yes, I'm happy with the patch that have been
committed.

Thanks,
