My build from a working copy deletes generated files. Looking at the
Makefile it appears to depend on RELEASE_MODE, I'm not sure what sets
that.

I don't build the bindings very often so I'm not really bothered--but
the old system was better :)

A more annoying problem is that the 'make -j4 swig-py' parallel build
is broken, it sometimes fails with
