Make clean doesn't clean as much as it should. I wrote win32/distclean.bat
to delete anything not in the MANIFEST file.

Thanks. Most folk here are Win32 ignorant - so I for one did not know
that you could do that 'set'.

Makefiles work(ed) without prompting on WinNT's cmd.exe - but of course 
Win2k/WinXP seem to have changed things.
