You always jump on me so quickly about this, but I haven't even done
anything yet except ask for advice about a fairly simple problem.  But
since enough people have mentioned replacing my batch file with a
plugin, that is looking very desirable right now.

But you should know, the issue is so minor that I can pretty much
ignore it without any real problems.  Also, one of my goals is to fix
things so all generated files go below target/ (at the moment, there
are a few that don't); once that happens I won't need to do anything
special in the pre-clean phase.

P.S.  Just to give a little more background for those who are curious:
what I have right now is a build-tools component that provides a
little batch file called buildsln.bat that essentially locates
msbuild.exe and runs it for a given .sln.  You can also pass a /clean
to get it to clean the solution.  Even though it is just a simple
batch file right now, I think converting it into a plugin as many have
suggested will probably be better in the long run.
