Do you know what constitutes a "clean build"?  I'm guessing that
anything that deletes the existing DOC-* file would cause you to get
the "same file".

If you're suggesting that I just reconfigure, then re-build without a
make clean, I'm wondering if that might be asking for trouble in the
long run, even if it works right now.  However, if that's OK, I'm
happy to proceed that direction.

Oh, and I'm also fine with just trying to handle things the way RH
handled them, but if there's some way the developers know they'd like
this "fixed", that's even better.  Off the top of my head, I wonder if
something as simple as naming the DOC file with a timestamp might be
enough -- i.e. DOC-20020610-231201 or similar.

Thanks
