Comment on BuildInstructions in casacore

HV: As there seems to be not a "clean" target, I think I have the
commands that, when executed, allow you to do a complete fresh build.
Allegedly, there is an undocumented way to do it but all I got so far
was that indeed it was undocumented, propably even "sekrit" (which
didn't help me much).
Why this comment? Well, when changing the option(s) on the commandline
of batchbuild.py - they will not be 'honoured' if you have run
batchbuild.py/scons before: the system stores info in files only once
and doesn't detect that you (want to) re-run with different options.
That in itself is not a problem, as long as you can force the system
to ... clean and/or do a full rebuild, neither of which seems to be available.
You have to either edit the configfiles by hand (...) or remove them
such that the next invocation of batchbuild.py/scons will write new configurationfiles.
The commands that seem to trigger a full rebuild are - at least in my
experience - are:
#!/bin/sh
find . -name \*.o -o -name \*.a -o -name \*.so | xargs rm -f
find . -name options.cfg | xargs rm -f
find . -name .sconf_temp | xargs rm -rf
find . -name config.log | xargs rm -f
find . -name .sconsign.dblite | xargs rm -f
