I do the clean after the dep too. It doesn't make
sense to me to clean if you haven't configured the
makefiles yet, which is what make dep does.
You can do it before and after if you want and it
won't hurt anything. The first clean uses the current
makefile and after dep, you use the makefile you're
going to build with. Technically, if the make dep did
it's job, then all files depend on the makefile date
and since it changed, everything has to be rebuilt
so it should work either way really.
