Thanks for the suggestion.  However, prohibiting CLEAN from deleting 
directories feels like it is cutting off the arm to fix a hangnail. 
CLEAN should be able to delete any temporary files created during a 
build process, and that might include directories.

I would rather see a solution targeted explicitly at the "core" 
directory issue.

Thanks Daniel.
