I've been bitten by this before, too. The current implementation of "make.py clean" is probably a remnant of an earlier iteration of the doc build system that really did scatter files all over the place. I made some changes a few months ago to try to restrict "built" files to the build and examples directories. I can go ahead and fix "clean" to just be a couple of "removedirs". But I'll wait a day or so just to see if anyone can think of a good reason not to.
