For the truly uninitiated such as myself one question remains, "When do I need to use make clean?" I will go reasearch that.

Actually, due to how we have our Makefile structure built, I can't think of any time you'll have to do it. (I can't think of a single time I've ever done it for Inkscape, actually.) I have used "make distclean", but that's more for doing release packaging, etc.

Re-running autogen.sh and configure is generally all you have to do when a major change in structure happens. Most of the time automake/autoconf is smart enough that it'll re-run itself. :)
