Wanted: Help from someone good at Makefile stuff

[Conno Boel]

Hello Doug, All,

Take in account that I am only familiar with bzr's distant cousin git...
 From what I read from the bug/feature report is something like this:

files        make
a.file       a.page
b.file       b.page

but if there's a previous build containing c.page, it will not be 
deleted even though it's original does not exist (in other words, the 
script plain ignores anything that sits on the output-side of things), 
right?
I am not about to touch any files, (I am not even in the launchpad, so 
tehre's a big chance that I can't even), also can't seem to quickly 
find/check the make-file. I will assume it is a shell script, and it 
might suffice to just add an "mv" to rename all previously generated 
files to name.type.OLD ??

if I missed the nail anywhere then please disregard this e-mail.
I do not have a whole lot of time on my hands either, but I can always 
glance over stuff. If it's bash, I can sneak it into my shellscripting 
classes, (what they teach us is peanuts for anyone who did some linux 
maintenace before anyways).

Regards,
Cornelis
