A much simpler way to clean just the inner project, and not all the
ExternalProject dependencies is to cd down into the inner build's directory
and do the "make clean" in there.

"make clean" at the top level should clean according to the ExternalProject
stamp files.

You can clean the individual projects if necessary by going down into their
respective "inner build" directories.


HTH,
David
