[Distutils] "clean" doesn't

[Skip Montanaro]

(please cc me on any replies - i'm not on the distutils sig)

Am I missing something or is "python setup.py clean" only a feeble attempt
at cleaning what was created by distutils?  If I execute

    python setup.py build
    python setup.py clean
    python setup.py build

the second build does nothing, claiming that everything is up-to-date.  In
my opinion, the clean command should delete the entire build subdirectory,
not just the build/temp.<arch> directory.

Thx,
