`make clean` doesn't delete what is build (and shouldn't)

You are looking for `make spotless` to delete items that build.
Other common practice is to use `make really-clean` or `make mrproper`
for the removal of the builded targets. See the makefile to find out
what to use ( it varies from project to project )



Another way to find out that you are actual working with the file
that you build yourself, is to modify a text string. Either a printed
string or one that you get visable with the strings(1) program.

It is nice to see that you like the hacking.
