If you're experimenting with the autoconf builds, I don't know. The
following answer assumes you're using the XP diving makefiles as follows:

  cd abi
  make

These diving makefiles build both the abi tree itself, as well as any
required peer libraries. The various make targets clean as follows:

  tidy -- remove object files for the current subtree ONLY
  abiclean -- remove all abi object files
  clean -- remove all abi and peer object files
  realclean -- remove everything, including binaries & generated headers

Thus, in short:

  tidy < abiclean < clean < realclean

Hope that helps.

>Will one of them clean out a make install?

Sorry. The answer to that one's probably platform-specific. AFAIK, Win32
doesn't even *have* a "make install" target.
