True, however, realclean is an optional target, it's not part of make world, 
so if it doesn't suit your needs, just don't use it. :)  I've been using my 
own home-grown shell scripts (buildworld, cleanworld, installworld, etc.) for 
quite a while now and will just continue doing the same.  If 'make realclean' 
doesn't work for you, just don't use it. :)
