I hadn't seen it before, but that may be because the subject wasn't very
descriptive (like this time). I changed it so people ignoring the thread may
read this anyway.

Although I don't agree that it's like "swatting a fly with a neutron star", I
can see that it's not really nice. :-)
I changed it, and I also changed the rm -f into a rm $(wildcard ...) (with a
check if that isn't empty). And I changed -find into find, which it should
have been anyway (since it doesn't fail if it doesn't find anything).
Thanks,
