Subject:   Clobbering includes during ``make world''

Hi folks,

I'm looking into teaching ``make world'' to clobber _all_ targets,
including include files and perl5 modules. This will ease the task of
finding stale crap with ``find -ctime''.

Dealing with perl5 modules was easy, and I'm confident that there are no
adverse side-effects involved. However, I'd like some feedback on
whether it's safe to clobber FreeBSD include files.

Currently, it looks like most include files are installed with ``install
-C''. Are there any reasons why it'd be an incredibly bad idea to use
``install -c'' instead?

Thanks,
Sheldon.
