They aren't unknown, they just got their either by me building with
something else (like make) or by me building with a different project.  For
example, I might be doing some work on the client, so I use my "client"
project.  But then I want to do some work with the installer so I switch to
my "installer" project.  The installer project most likely uses classes from
the "client" project.  I don't think one should assume that source and
output directories are "exclusive" to a project.

We generate the code as part of the build, so there really isn't any extra
maintenance.  But the time involved in doing this generation and compilation
is part of the reason I like to suck class files off of the build machine
instead of having to build the entire tree myself.
