[issue6142] Distutils doesn't remove .pyc files

[Tarek Ziadé]

The only reason I would see to clean .pyc file in distutils clean
command is if the build command (or any other command) would generate
them in the source tree, which is not the case.

That said, build_ext -i *does* create .so files in the source tree, so
we should provide a way to remove them I think.
