I think you misunderstood what I meant. Then we do 'make clear', the 
CMakeFiles/project.dir/cmake_clean.cmake gets executed. That's where the 
FILE(REMOVE ...) command I'm talking about resides. This is created by 
cmake during build configuration, but IMHO it should be 
FILE(REMOVE_RECURSE ...) so that 'make clean' removes any directories 
specified with CMAKE_ADDITIONAL_CLEAN_FILES property.
