#868: cabal clean crash

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
When using a custom build type, clean wil always crash (atleast on
windows). Cabal leaves cleaning up to the compiled Setup.exe, which itself
resides in sdist, so an attempt to clean *all* files in sdist requires
Setup.exe to be deleted aswell. And since a program can't delete itself,
this will always result in the following crash:
PS C:\Users\Phyx\Documents\Haskell\cabaltest> cabal clean
cleaning...
Error while removing dist/: DeleteFile "dist\\setup\\setup.exe":
permission denied (Access is denied.)
