Yes.  Removing dependency files is usually just a waste of time.  If
you want precisely the dependency files removed, use `make cleandepend'.

We already have the `cleanobj' and `cleandir' targets for this.  cleandir
removes everything.  cleanobj removes everything in the objdir and underneath
it, and the obj link (if any), but does not descend into subdirectories in
the source tree.

`make world' normally does a full `make cleandir'.  It can be broken by
using the NOCLEAN option.
