Partly. Certainly "make whichever-clean" should delete cruft
created by the build system. However:
- Sometimes one wants to test that (as, coincidentally, I've
been doing a lot of this week). The best way I've thought of
is essentially:
- check out a new sandbox
- "find . | sort >/tmp/ok-files"
- build
- "make whichever-clean"
- "find . | sort | comm -3 /tmp/ok-files -"
The thing JV asks for would replace the first step, and would
be faster and less space-consuming than deleting one's old
sandbox and checking out a new one for each test run.
- I don't know about you, but my sandboxes tend to accrete a
lot of junk (though this tends to be more easily identifiable
than build products, since it doesn't get mentioned in
.cvsignore).
One thing that would make writing the script a lot easier was if
"-I!" on the command line really meant "ignore nothing";
currently the per-directory .cvsignore's supercede it.

I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
