Follow-up Comment #3, bug #20406 (project mypaint):
Well, speeding up "scons -c" a bit can't hurt.
In theory, we should tell scons all the dependencies and the build products
and the build steps, and then it would also clean up for us.
In practice, this is a very tricky development task on its own, and it is easy
to miss a dependency and produce outdated builds, or to forget an update when
things change. The point of the whole exercise would be speed up rebuilds
during development.
Some of our build steps with complex dependencies (like generate.py and swig)
take so little time that I consider it a waste of developer ressources to
write and maintain a proper build rule for them.
