Almost all generated files are now put in dist* directories, which makes
them easy to clean; and even if you do stop using a dist directory and
it doesn't get cleaned, it's hard to see how files in such a directory
could interfere with the build.
Oh, we'll probably find a way;-)
perhaps we already have?-) From todays head reports (windows,
head fast, stage1):
