Clearly we have different ideas of organizing tex files. Those (like you) who prefer a code project style, will be fine with intermediate files deleted only when finished.
Those (like I) who consider tex as plain texts, to be converted to DVI/PS only when needed, will dislike even the idea of having a Makefile in this case, not to mention ``one tex one folder''. Please be respectful to the difference.
