[AMBER-Developers] Confusing clean targets.

Dear All,

Can someone offer a clarification as to why we have a whole plethora of
different clean targets and specifically, why make clean does not ACTUALLY
clean things and instead leaves all sort of libraries and modules behind
that may have been compiled with different compiler versions of even
compilers?

For example, we have:

clean:
realclean:
distclean:
superclean:
uninstall:
uninstall_libraries:

Looks like a little too much has been smoked of late.

I propose doing the following:

make clean

This will do:

clean all src directories
remove all mod and library files
clean netcdf, pnetcdf, fftw
etc etc

Objections?

All the best
Ross
