This is great, and I'm all for it.

I have a problem with GNUstep make. With the ImpersonatorToolKit, I have
a Tool with additional Resource files that need to get installed. So I have
them in the Resources subdirectory, and in GNUmakefile I have set:

ImpersonatorToolKit_HAS_RESOURCE_BUNDLE=yes 

then
make && make install
 works well and as expected, but trying to do:
make clean

completely wipes the Resources directory from the disk. This is only annoying
when you have the stuff in SVN or elsewhere, but may wipe important stuff before
you have it in a RCS ;)

The patch below fixes the problem for me, only deleting the subdirectory
that gets created when calling make .
Before I came up with the patch as it is currently below, I stumbled about
the GNUSTEP_SHARED_BUNDLE_RESOURCE_PATH variable that gets
filled in Instance/tool.make, but trying to use that variable, its empty at
the make clean stage, so didn't work.
Is that patch the right approach to the problem? If so, I'd like to go on
and commit it, otherwise I'm open for other suggestions.



cheers,
Sebastian
