Ok,
I have changed things on my copy locally to the following:
1) clean
This cleans the src directories and netcdf
2) uninstall
This runs clean
runs uninstall in each src dir (which removes the binaries)
removes everything in $AMBERHOME/lib/
cleans the test directories
Nothing deletes config.h anymore. Note if you do an uninstall it will remove
the nab libraries, openmpi libraries etc so if you run a uninstall on
Makefile_at you will have to rebuild everything.
Comments?
Otherwise I will test this all and then check it in.
All the best
Ross
