Hubert Feyrer sez:
/*
* Heh - ``by''...
*
* No, let "make" (or "make install" or "make package") run "make clean" by
* default. (RPM does this to ensure it starts out with a clean dir, which I
* consider a good thing - given that one can switch that off :)
Assuming, of course, that the "make clean" is done prior to "make package",
and/or that it is done AFTER "make install", else the obvious frustrating
loop ensues.
