  certainly clean/rebuild a lot, and it works just fine with the stuff

  The problem comes from if you remove *one* of the files but not *all* of
  them. We only trigger on one of them (unlike the makefile which triggers
  on all). But as long as they are all removed, it should be ok.
 
  Can you confirm if you actually still have that problem with 8.3.0?
 
 Yup - run clean.bat, and then build.bat and the resulting build fails
 because parser/parse.h is missing. Thats with the 8.3.0 tarball, which
 built just fine prior to running clean. Bison and flex are in the
 path.

I've managed to reproduce this now, and it's way more broken than I
thought. In fact, clean.bat simply does not work. It seems the batch
processor falls over *badly* when dealing with so many call statements. I
put in some echo 1, echo 2 etc to see in which order i runs the bat
file. I put them in from top to bottom, but the execution order came out as
0,5,6,7,8,1,5,6,7,8,7,8,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Which obviously is less than
perfect.

I've redone a clean.bat now that inlines the deletes, and it seems to be
working better. I'll also add the clean dist stuff so it's possible to
clean/rebuild without bison/flex, and then commit this.

 The following bug has been logged online:
 
 Bug reference:  3909
 Logged by:  Pavel Golub
 Email address:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 PostgreSQL version: 8.3RC2
 Operating system:   WinXP
 Description:src\tools\msvc\clean.bat clears parse.h file
 Details: 
 
 Executing clean.bat from src\tools\msvc clears src\backend\parser\parse.h
 
 However, in help stated:
 
 Bison and Flex are required to build from CVS, but not required when
 building from a release file.
 
 Also in src\backend\parser\Makefile we have comments:
 
 # gram.c, parse.h, and scan.c are in the distribution tarball, so they
 # are not cleaned here.
 
 Because of this bug there is no opportunity to build PostgreSQL by Visual
 Studio without using Bison.
 
 So, may be as a workaround we may use such scheme:
 1. We have src\backend\parser\parse.h.release (or whatever postfix) file
 2. GenerateFiles() in Solution.pm must check if Bison is available. If so
 then generate parse.h by Bison, else copy parse.h.release as parse.h
 3. When clean will be called parse.h will be deleted, but not
 parse.h.release

I think a better solution is to add a parameter to clean.bat to make it
work like make clean does. So you'd to clean when you mean make
clean, and clean dist when you mean make distclean.

Thoughts on this?
