I find that the 'sup' update that tries to delete directories does not know
about the obj directory. THat makes the 'sup' directory delete fail,
because the directory is not empty.
I haven't even looked at the source to see what it would take to change the
logical 'rmdir' to a logical 'rm -fr', but I expect that iot won't be a
big deal.
