* why should it remove /usr/include?? /usr/include is not used for the
* building of the resulting binaries install.. why not do a rm -rf /
* if you want to clean out the area your installing to... :)
*
* of course there is good argument that the installed to area should
* be clean to prevent old files from contaminating a setup... but
* if we start to clean out /usr/include, we should also do /{bin,sbin}
* /usr/{bin,share,sbin,lib,libexec} and any others that get installed...
I agree with you, but the comments at the top of src/Makefile say
otherwise. Should we just nuke the CLOBBER option entirely, or change
the rules so it will actually delete /usr/include/*?
