32467 - *clean targets are different for mozilla & sub-modules

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[cls]

At some point, we need to decide how we are going to traverse various submodules
that are in the tree.  The change to fix the distclean target for NSPR (bug
29427) broke my tinderbox build (twain).  The tinderbox script normally does
"realclean" which is actually a "distclean" under NSPR.  That particular bustage
may have been specific to using nspr-autoconf but you can see how this can be a
problem.  I'm wondering if we may want to start using specific targets for these
submodules like we do in mozilla/webshell/embed for GtkMozilla.  It's either
that or we require that the sub-modules keep the same target scheme as Mozilla
which may not be possible in the long run.
