1. Why do we have both --with-cups and --with-cups-include ?
All we use is the header files so the latter is what matters and
I'm not sure which one the build system prefers if both are set.
2. In the old build I could do
cd make/sun/font
make clean
make all
Is there anything analagous to 'make clean' here,where I can have a
level of comfort
that all generated files related to building just a particular area are
removed.
The new build doesn't work on "particular areas" to that granularity.
For each of the main targets in the new build there is a corresponding
"clean" target eg:
jdk clean-jdk
langtools clean-langtools
hotspot clean-hotspot
images clean-images

This was useful after I touched a header file.
Now when I touch a header file, the new build system doesn't notice,
so I have to manually purge, but nor does it (as far as I can see) give me
a target to purge that component. To do this I need to go hunt down
the directory with the object files and remove them.
Is there something better I can do ?
