It used to call out to svn-clean, but it was pointed out that only works if you're building from SVN, not from a tarball (which is a problem for the Linux distros). So there is explicit code in make.py to delete all of the generated files. > Do you know why the plot directive (I assume that is the cause of the > problem) cannot put all generated output in build?

The problem is in gen_rst.py, which generates pages for all of the examples, and puts them in doc/examples. At the time, it wasn't clear how to generate these pages under the build tree and then have Sphinx pick them up. That may have predated all of the "hooks" that Sphinx now has, however, and it may now be possible to solve that problem.
