Details

look into automating cleanup of directories created by config/makefiles/autotargets.mk / GENERATED_DIRS=. Limit cleanup to empty top level directories to avoid traversal overhead. Some targets are blindly generated during 'make clean', distclean, etc calls so be on the lookout for race conditions or directories re-created after removal by the library function.
