When working with a project that doesn't have a Makefile setup such
that `make distclean' does the trick, I usually just check out a fresh
copy of the sources when I need a pristine copy.  i.e. 'cd ..; rm -rf
project; cvs co project'.  Of course, that can be annoying given a
low-bandwidth connection to your CVS server.

Cheers,

Derek
