RE: Advice on "clean:" rule for Win32 platform needed...

[Miller, Bryan]

Hi Paul,

Great idea.  I forget about the make-w32 group as I seldom work on the Dark
Side.

I like the alternate shell idea (I use cygwin on my laptop when not running
Linux) but I would hate to have to roll that environment out on 50-60
desktops and maintain it.

Cheers,
Bryan
