   <p>This utility target, only available when <tt>$(PROJ_OBJ_ROOT)</tt> is not 
   the same as <tt>$(PROJ_SRC_ROOT)</tt>, will completely clean the

+  <tt>$(PROJ_OBJ_ROOT)</tt> directory by removing its content entirely and 
   reconfiguring the directory. This returns the <tt>$(PROJ_OBJ_ROOT)</tt> 
   directory to a completely fresh state. All content in the directory except 
   configured files and top-level makefiles will be lost.</p>
