Description
The "clobber" target in the deployment workspace doesn't delete enough files. Specifically, if you change the JDK_UPDATE_VERSION environment variable, gnumake clobber and rebuild, PluginVersion.h doesn't get deleted and regenerated. This can lead to a significant amount of wasted time. A top-level gnumake clobber should probably just delete everything under tmp/deploy in the output directory.

Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
Some residual files in OUTPUT/tmp/deploy and OUTPUT/tmp/l10n/deploy exist.
The fix in deploy/make/Makefile will 'just' remove both residual directories, done.

This shall be understood as a last resort, integrity/safety first, clobber ;-)
