[Scons-users] How do you get scons to clean up side-effect files?

I tried to send this once before, but I don't think it showed up.
I'm using scons with gcc on ubuntu. I'm both an scons and python noob,
but I've managed to get Scons to build my unit-test application with the
compiler options necessary for gcov/lcov code coverage analysis. Here
is a much stripped and simplified version of my SConscript file sufficient
to show my problem:
obj = Object(
"mytest.cpp",
CPPPATH=Split("/home/matt/dev/gtest/gtest-1.6.0/include"),
CCFLAGS=Split("-Wall -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"))
Program(
obj,
LIBS=Split("gtest pthread gcov"),
LIBPATH=Split("/home/matt/dev/gtest/gtest-1.6.0/"))
Running scons will create mytest.o and mytest (executable), but (due to
the -fprofile-arcs and -ftest-coverage compiler options) also creates the
file mytest.gcno needed for subsequent code coverage analysis. This is
exactly what I wanted. But I'd like scons -c to remove this gcno file.
It does not. How can I modify the simple SConsctruct file above to
clean this file at the same time mytest.o is cleaned? I've seen a few
postings about emitters, but the stuff I've read does not make it clear to
me how to use an emitter with the existing Object Builder.
Much thanks.
Matt
