The rule is that CLOBBER should never need to be touched. Unfortunately,
our build system is far from perfect, and there are plenty of cases
where that doesn't actually hold true. There are a bunch of bugs filed
for those cases, and new ones should be filed and marked as blocking bug
#941904. IOW, the dependencies of bug #941904 that are still open are
the currently known cases where a CLOBBER was required, but many of them
are of the form "bug #xxxx required a clobber".
